Late spring and early summer are the best times to find breeding birds in the Mono Basin—they are singing from the tops of trees and shrubs to declare their territory to rivals and protect their mates. This seminar will visit birding hotspots in the Mono Basin to learn about the many breeding birds that raise their families here. We will learn to identify these breeders and observe their behaviors as they gather food for their young or gather material to build nests. We will delve into their migration patterns and conservation status, as well as any natural history tidbits that come up. This seminar will involve easy hiking at elevations ranging from 6,400 to 9,600 feet above sea level. We will hike 1–2 miles over the course of each day, mostly on level terrain. Nora Livingston spent eight years as the Mono Lake Committee’s Lead Naturalist Guide. She is now an independent biologist and naturalist, still based in the Lee Vining area. She has spent more than 15 years birding the basin and is an expert on Mono Basin birding locations. Before moving to Lee Vining permanently, she bounced around California for eight years as a field biologist, studying birds on the Channel Islands, the Farallon Islands, and in the Eastern Sierra. |
