PLAYA Experience: Great Birding in the Great Basin (May 15–May 19, 2025)
May in the Summer Lake area is a time of avian abundance, diversity, and exuberance. Migrants are moving through, and breeding birds are singing and displaying to defend territory and court mates, while some have started nesting. In this Experience, participants will visit birding hotspots like the Summer Lake Wildlife Area and Lake Abert, perhaps ascending Winter Ridge to look for forest birds. We will go beyond identification, discussing bird life history strategies, including habitat needs. We will collect and share data using eBird and will develop familiarity with field guides. There will be sufficient free time for you to bird on your own, study field guides, write in journals, or take photographs. Above all, we will celebrate the joy of birding and birds themselves. The agenda below is subject to change depending on weather and information on where the birds are.
Participants will leave this Experience with an understanding of field identification of birds, knowledge of biogeography and natural history of birds, and how to use eBird for citizen science.
