Abstract

Despite increased observer awareness of the Salton Sea and the United States portion of the lower Colorado River, coverage of adjacent areas in extreme northeastern Baja California remains low and our knowledge of the avifauna of that region remains slight. The Mexicali Valley contains a substantial amount of agricultural habitat resembling that found just north of the international border in the Imperial Valley. Because of the habitat similarity, the status of many species in northeastern Baja California should be very similar to that known for the Salton Sea or the lower Colorado River. Here we report on a number of species, in hopes that we may help fill some gaps in knowledge of the Baja California avifauna.
