Desert Ramblings - 1990s to Today

Desert Ramblings

Published continuously since 1988, Oregon Natural Desert Association’s newsletter has kept our members informed about public lands news and shared countless intriguing facts about the plants and animals that inhabit this landscape. Our publication schedule has varied through the years, but the newsletter’s name — Desert Ramblings — has remained.
We’ve collected back issues decade by decade here.
For the most recent editions, see our Publications page.

Young Desert Horned Lizard

Young Desert Horned Lizard

In the summer these lizards begin foraging for food as soon as their body temperature rises as the heat of the day increases. They feed on slow-moving, ground-dwelling insects. In the fall they hibernate by burying themselves in the sand.

Latin name: Phrysonoma platyrhinos
