Imagine a time in Fresno County when Fulvous Whistling-Ducks and Short-eared Owls were abundant, Bell’s Vireos and Yellow-breasted Chats sang from every waterway, Lesser Nighthawks and Brewer’s Sparrows set up home in Clovis vineyards; but Anna’s Hummingbirds, American Crows, and Cedar Waxwings were few and far between. Jeff will discuss what brought about these changes and predict what our avifauna will look like in another one hundred years.
