Call for Shorebird Survey volunteers


​Lahontan Audubon has received a grant to establish a shorebird monitoring program at Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge and Carson Lake, both outside Fallon, NV. Volunteers are needed who would like to learn how to identify shorebirds and then conduct actual surveys at those two locations this Fall, next Spring, and again next Fall. Mike Goddard and Alan Gubanich will conduct at least 2 training sessions this July and 2 field trips to those respective locations. If you are willing to learn how to identify shorebirds and then conduct shorebirds surveys, please contact both Alan Gubanich and Mike Goddard as soon as possible, at the following addresses:
 
Alan Gubanich -- alan.gubanich@nevadaaudubon.org  or  775-233-8815 (cell) — leave a message if no one answers

Thanks again to all our volunteers!  

​ LAS is the organization it is today because of ALL our volunteers for all the years! THANK YOU!

A BIG THANKS TO VORTEX OPTICS

Lahontan Audubon Society owes a huge thank you to Vortex Optics, ​who each year, for the last 7-plus years, have repaired a box full of well-used (some damaged) LAS binoculars ​used by the 500 or so elementary school children who attended the LAS field trips at Washoe Lake State Park.  Vortex has never charged LAS a penny for this terrific service and has even paid return shipping back to us.   We encourage anyone who may be looking for binoculars to check out Vortex Optics.  ​They have a great variety of binoculars in a wide price range and provide amazing service. 
​Thanks so much, Vortex.
