January 2024 Monthly Meeting

Topic: Avian Ecology of the Southeast Farallon Islands

Featuring: Ned Bohman

Details:  Ned Bohman, Outreach Coordinator with the Great Basin Bird Observatory will speak about some of his recent experience volunteering on Southeast Farallon Island. While this is not necessarily a Nevada-related presentation, Southeast Farallon Island is an incredible landscape with much biodiversity. The Farallones are an oasis located in a different type of desert than typically seen in Nevada. Ned will talk about bird migration on the island, seals, sea lions, sharks, whales, salamanders and others.
