I’ll be partnering with Desert Shield Environmental Professionals for a three-day, hands-on training designed for biological monitors, field biologists, environmental consultants, and students looking to strengthen their avian field skills.
We’ll work on bird identification by sight, sound, behavior, and habitat, along with practical monitoring techniques including point counts, Burrowing Owl surveys, field documentation, and compliance-focused biological monitoring. The course combines instruction with extensive field practice in habitats around the Las Vegas Valley.
Enrollment is limited to 12 participants, with early-bird registration currently listed at $595 + fees through November 4.
My close friend Austin and I walked 112 miles across Southern Nevada to help tell the story of water in Las Vegas. We camp, search for water, and geek out on plenty of birds.
See for yourself; it is film festival bound, but free on YouTube.
I love birds of prey. Hawks, eagles, falcons, harriers, kites, Ospreys, and owls are apex aerial predators with fascinating lives and roles in ecosystems.
And hawk watching during migration is one of nature's spectacles. In this video, we focus on diurnal raptors in flight. Grab a pen and paper and write as you go to really lock in some of the tips.
