Tahoe's Avian Summer Visitors Talk (5:30 pm - 7:00 pm)
Learn about birds that migrate to the Tahoe Basin for our beautiful summers from Kirk Hardie. Some birds travel hundreds of miles to nest in the Tahoe Basin, while others spend the winters in the nearby Carson Valley in Nevada and Central Valley in California. Many of our summer visitors our more colorful than our year round resident birds. Come to the talk to learn about which ones. This presentation is hosted by the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center and will be held on the Sierra Nevada College campus, 291 Country Club Dr, Incline Village, NV.

Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch Hunt At High Camp (All Day)
Description: The Tahoe Institute for Natural Science (TINS) and Squaw Valley USA are sponsoring an outing specifically searching for Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches, a charismatic bird that nests at Tahoe’s highest elevations. Many other species are possible at High Camp, including Golden Eagles, American Pipits, Mountain Bluebirds, and Brewer’s Sparrows. This outing will focus more on alpine birds than on covering terrain, but we may have to hike around a bit to find the rosy-finches. Will Richardson and Kirk Hardie will co-lead. Bring binoculars, water, food, and sunscreen, and dress appropriately.
Difficulty/Elevation Gain: mostly rolling and easy, but we will be starting at 8200’ Cost: Free with purchase of tram ticket ($29 adult, $22 senior/youth, $10 under 10). TINS members receive $10 discount.
Time: 9:20am-1:00pm Please arrive a few minutes early to purchase tram ticket and meet the group. Last tram down is at 4:30.
Registration: Limited to 25 participants; please contact Will Richardson for registration or more information –
