An Excerpt from the Executive Summary:
The Sagebrush Bird Conservation Plan has been prepared to stimulate and support an active approach to conservation of landbird populations that depend on sagebrush habitats in eastern California. It represents a synthesis of published and unpublished information on birds in the region, the ecology of sagebrush systems, and conservation planning. Recommendations included in this document are intended to guide planning efforts and actions of land managers, expenditures of government and non-government organizations, and stimulate monitoring and research to support the conservation of landbirds.
