In 2023, DTWG partners captured and tagged the first LeConte’s Thrasher ever banded in #Nevada, the first in an ongoing study examining how these nonmigratory birds use the landscape at different times of year.

It’s hard to overstate the relief of a nice rest in the river after a long day of trail clearing through thick saltcedar on the lower Colorado River

The Lower Colorado River project brought current project managers Dawn and Lauren to GBBO :)

Could you use a rainbow? I could use a rainbow.

This double beauty was seen while driving to Elko in 2023. Have a good weekend everyone!

Anyone else need something fun? We're putting together a monthly #bird / #nature scavenger hunt - come join us!

No real rules - you can take the full month, you can do it any day of the month, or you can join us on the second Saturday of each month (which is this coming Saturday)! Whether you're birding from home, at your local parks, or on a major mission, there's something for everyone :).

Share anecdotes, sketches, and photos if/when you get them, and tag us!

Happy birding!
