For Immediate and Continuous Release
Through April 25
On Saturday, April 25, the Mono
Lake Committee will be coordinating a
shorebird census around the entire Mono Lake
shoreline. A rising lake level has resulted
in significant changes along Monos
shores. A shorebird census will help to
monitor the changes in lakeshore habitat and
shorebird response. Beginning to advanced
birders are needed to participate. The count
will begin at 6:30 AM in front of the Mono Lake Committee
Information Center and Bookstore in Lee Vining.
Bring water, snacks, binoculars and/or
spotting scopes, pencil and notepad,
appropriate clothing, and sun protection for
the day. A 4WD vehicle is helpful. The count
will last until mid-afternoon. If you are
interested in participating, please call
Bartshe Miller at 760.647.6595.
