	Mojave Desert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mojave Desert (Mojave is used for the desert while Mohave is used for the native people) occupies a significant portion of southern California and smaller parts of southwestern Utah, southern Nevada, and northwestern Arizona, in the United States.
		The Mojave Desert is bounded in part by the Tehachapi together with the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountain ranges.
		The Mojave, like all deserts in general, is known for its summer heat; however, much less renowned is the Mojave's wintertime cold.

	Yucca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The yuccas comprise the genus Yucca of 40-50 species of perennials, shrubs, and trees in the agave family Agavaceae, notable for their rosettes of evergreen, tough, sword-shaped leaves and large terminal clusters of white or whitish flowers.
		Yuccas have a very specialized pollination system, being pollinated by the yucca moth; the insect purposefully transfers the pollen from the stamens of one plant to the stigma of another, and at the same time lays an egg in the flower; the moth larva then eats some of the developing seeds, but far from all.
		Many yuccas also bear edible parts, including fruits, seeds, flowers, flowering stems, and more rarely roots, but use of these is sufficiently limited that references to yucca as food more often than not stem from confusion with the similarly spelled but botanically unrelated yuca.

	SDNHM Focus on Scott's, Bullock's, and Hooded Orioles
		The Mojave Yucca or Spanish Dagger (Yucca schidigera) is the most important species, being the primary provider of the fibers with which the oriole builds its nest.
		I don't know if the orioles strip the curly fibers fringing the Mojave Yucca's leaves, in the same way that the Hooded Oriole strips fibers from a fan palm, but the old leaves of the yucca decompose into long tough but flexible fibers ideal for weaving.
		If Yucca schidigera is sparse or absent, a few birds on the edge of their range take advantage of the more montane Yucca whipplei.
