AN IMPORTANT BIRD AREA - VISUALIZATION 
This Artifact is an informative flyer targeting a wide audience to inform readers of the critical importance of birds, bird migrations, and their connection to the Arizona ecosystem. This infographic was inspired by my daugher who at age 12 was the Silver Medalist at the 2024 Ornitology Bee in Orlando Florida. She is a birder and the fact at Arizona is a key migration area and subject to a significant climate change event, made this project worthy of study.
