In one week, I will be heading back to the southwest and starting field work for Great Basin Bird Observatory. I will be conducting landbird surveys along the lower Colorado River. The field season runs from March 5 through the middle of June. I spent last summer in the same area surveying for the southwestern Willow Flycatcher. For this position, I will be doing area searches and spot mapping every bird that I observe. It should be a rockin’ field season. Here are some photos from last summer:
