Bird & Wildlife Walk - One Truckee River & Northern Nevada Bird Alliance

Bird & Wildlife Walks with Northern Nevada Bird Alliance

Saturday, October 25th and Saturday, January 10th, 10:00am-12:00pm

What’s that duck that looks like it has spiky red hair? Who is that big bird perching stock-still on a rock with its wings spread out? What’s that tiny duck that just dove beneath the surface of the water? Explore Fisherman’s Park #1 at our upcoming events and see if you can spot mergansers, double-crested cormorants, buffleheads, red-tailed hawks, and more!

Get to know your community while learning about the birds and wildlife that call our neighborhood parks home – and why they matter. On October 25th and January 10th, One Truckee River and Northwest Nevada Bird Alliance members will lead us along the Truckee River, helping us spot and identify the birds and other animals that depend on our watershed.

The (NNBA), formerly the Lahontan Audubon Society, is a nonprofit focused on educating the public about native Nevada birds and conserving the remaining bird habitat in northwestern Nevada. Their goal is to create a welcoming birding community where people of all backgrounds can feel a sense of belonging. Our October 25 walk will be led by Lauren Whitenack, who is the Vice President of the NNBA and a PhD student at UNR studying mountain chickadee breeding ecology. The walk on January 10 will be led by Jaida Marinas, who studied biology and analytical chemistry at UNR and works in environmental restoration and conservation.
