The Secret Life of the Desert: Deserts of the Pacific Northwest is a series dedicated to discovery and education of the vast and complicated desert regions that host many hundreds of species of plants and animals that live in stunning landscapes that most folks will never get to see. All these living organisms survive because of relationships, dependencies and arrangements in the most arid places here in the spectacular Pacific Northwest: from San Juan Island, Washington to Lookout Lake, Oregon and many sites in between east of the Cascade Mountains.

The Secret Life series was created by Mike Denny and Daniel Biggs and was produced by Blue Mountain Television.

Mike Denny, the narrator, is currently a teacher, naturalist, and has contributed to many organizations such as the Audubon Society. Mike also leads field trips for Blue Mountain Land Trust, Washington Ornithological Society, and co-authored 5 books and has been a birder since age eight.
