Event Details

This field outing pairs well with Ned’s Pinyon Jay community science presentation, which is helpful to attend but is not a prerequisite. On this trip, participants will primarily be searching for Pinyon Jays in the Bodie foothills. There are many other exciting species to find in the pinyon-juniper woodlands of the Mono Basin, such as Cassin’s and Plumbeous Vireo, Green-tailed Towhee, Juniper Titmouse, and many more. On this walk, Ned will go over how to collect and submit data using the free smartphone app, Survey 1,2,3, which allows anyone to be a community scientist. Join the team of over 400 volunteers across the western United States and help monitor these magnificent architects of pinyon pine ecosystems.
