Elko field trip with Nevada Audubon chapters – June 30 to July 1, 2018

Bristlecone Audubon (Elko based) hosted the Nevada Audubon chapter’s field trip in the Elko area. Bristlecone Audubon led a field trip to the Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge where we explored the ponds and many breeding bird species. On the Lamoille Canyon – Island Lake field trip Lois shared with us her extensive knowledge of plants and wildflowers in the area while some of us looked for the elusive Himalayan Snow cock and the Black Rosy Finch. Other members (led by Bill Grossi) explored Lamoille canyon. Other members chose to stay in Elko and participated in various Basque Day events. We especially appreciated backyard get together at Lois’ backyard. A wonderful opportunity for Nevada Audubon members to connect, make new friends and explore beautiful Nevada together. Thank you Bill Grossi, Jane Burnham and Lois Ports for making this trip happen.
