​Five members of Red Rock Audubon graciously hosted visitors to their yards on May 19th to give them ideas of what they can do to attract and sustain wildlife in our urban area. The weather was fantastic and the gardens were full of life.

​Three days in May brought new experiences to third grade students from Ruby S. Thomas Elementary School in Las Vegas. Red Rock Audubon raised money through silent auctions to fund busses for field trips. Working with Clark County School District School-Community Partnership Program, field trips to the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve were offered. The funds were made available to Title I schools and the third grade classes from Ruby Thomas were selected from a number of applications.

On Highway 15 going south from Las Vegas on the way to California you will pass two exits where there are casinos and the last gas station stops for visitors before crossing the border into California. You would never guess that these two exits host a large number of other visitors who also stop for refueling. These two places bordering the parking lots of said casinos are affectionately known as the Primm National Forest and the Lawn Patch at Jean. These little desert oases are important stops for birds migrating through on their ways from here to there. ​

​Another Global Big Day is on the books and it was nothing short of amazing. 

Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge is a critical area for birds migrating through southern Nevada. Many RRAS members have visited this gem in the desert more than once and enjoyed the variety of bird species that can be found there at different times of the year.

Frequent visitors to Discovery Park will notice some pretty big changes. Other changes are not so noticeable. The many improvements made by our volunteers and our partner, Great Basin Water Company, have made a big difference in this little jewel in the desert for all types of wildlife. Red Rock Audubon extends our deepest thanks to you.
