Beschreibung
Joshua Tree National Park is named after the Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia) native to the Mojave Desert. Encompassing a total of 795,156 acres (3,217.9 km2) the park includes 429,690 acres (1,738.9 km2) of designated wilderness. More than 250 bird species inhabit or visit the park, including resident desert birds such as the Greater roadrunner, Cactus wren, Northern mockingbird, LeConte's thrasher, Verdin, Ladder-backed woodpecker, Loggerhead shrike and Gambel's quail. About 78 species nest and raise their young within the park. Many migrating species spend only a short time feeding and resting at Joshua Tree, mainly in the winter, as the park lies along an inland stretch of the Pacific Flyway.
