As these birds travel down the valley, many stop in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region south of Davis where thousands of bird-watchers come to meet them. The article guides prospective bird-watchers on the plethora of parks, preserves, and roadside stops in the areas surrounding Davis for observing all of the aural and visual wonders birds have to offer.

This review will explore the current state of research on therapeutic climbing.

What is The Aggie Transcript?

The Aggie Transcript at UC Davis is a life sciences journal that provides students with a publishing venue to display their expertise and to share their understanding of science and its role in society. Through reviews, news stories, research, and other forms of original writing and art, our journal represents an inclusive form of expression for all students to convey their knowledge to the community as a whole. Our journal is student-run, and our dedicated team of editors works together to ensure that each piece submitted reaches its full potential by the time that it is published.
