From the Preface:
by Janet M. Ruth, Timothy Brush, and David J. Keueper
The concept for this volume began as a scientific symposium at the North American Ornithological
Conferende (NAOC) in Veracruz, Mexico in October 2006. The symposium was entitled "Avian
Distributional Change, Anthropogenic Challenges, and Recent Avian Research and Technological
Advances within the US-Mexico Border Region," and was co-chaired by two of us (DJK and TB)
along with Carol Beardmore (Sonoran Joint Venture) and Bill Howe (USDI Fish and Wildlife Service).
In light of the importance of the borderland region for birds and bird conservation, and because of
the great need for additional information about this poorly studied region, we have compiled this
volume to present new information about bird distribution, ecology, and conservation.
