EAST COAST

The eastern coast of North America experiences annual temperatures fluctuations from below freezing to hot and humid. The birds that migrate up and down its coast are hardy, and exhibit a plethora of forms to forage in unique ways.

WEST COAST

Often warmer and constant in temperature compared to the eastern coast, the west coast of North America shelters an incredible array of migratory birds and marine mammals that take advantage of the often year-round mild weather.

SALISH SEA

Nestled in the Northwestern part of Washington State, the Salish sea contains over 400 islands filled with unique wildlife along their coasts and within the waters. Ephemeral habitats like intertidal plains abound, allowing for unique ecological conditions found seldom elsewhere.

APPALACHIANS

Rolling hills, deciduous forests, and veins of rivers and streams fill this area of North America. Many species of eastern migratory birds breed here, making springtime a time of jewel-filled trees. Diverse in both flora and fauna, the Appalachian region contains surprising diversity.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST

A realm of mist, evergreens, and endangered phantoms in the woods. The Pacific Northwest is known for its mild climate, rough topography, and incredible wildlife. Often dark, cloudy, still, and quiet (if one goes out far enough), this area of North America is a place to behold.

HAWAIIAN ARCHIPELAGO

Unique in all of the world in being the most isolated island chain, the Hawaiian archipelago exhibits high rates of endemism. However, since humans arrived on the islands, native wildlife has faced unprecedented levels of extinction. What remains is both breathtaking and invaluable.

CENTRAL AMERICA

Biodiversity unrivaled except by South American rainforests, Central America boasts more bird species than the entire United States. Filled with sound, foliage, and abounding life, this region of the planet is both overwhelming and humbling.

GUNNISON BASIN

Located in western Colorado in the United States, the Gunnison Basin maintains a semblance of the North American Serengeti. Along with endemic species found only in the basin, interactions with humans have left many species under threat.
