Last month, we surveyed Mojave Desert point count transects for the #NevadaBirdCount - this Ash-throated Flycatcher was foraging in the WeeThump Joshua Tree Wilderness / Avi Kwa Ame National Monument.

November is for the #NevadaBirdCount! This month, we'll be sharing photos and information about this #Nevada-wide bird monitoring program.

Hello again from Nevada! Long time no post :)
The #NevadaBirdCount & #IMBCRbirds field seasons finished up last week meaning the data processing portion of the year has begun in earnest.
However, photos of sunrises are nicer than photos of datapiles, so here you are, from north of Elko, Nevada!

It's November, and that means it's #NevadaBirdCount time!
The Nevada Bird Count (NBC) is a statewide bird monitoring framework, primarily consisting of point count transects. We now have ~ 1200 transects across Nevada and into adjacent states!

A typical #NevadaBirdCount point count transect is randomly located within a stratum/area of interest, and consists of 10 points, approx. 250-300m apart, that are surveyed for 10 minutes.

Surveyors navigate to their survey point, and set their timers, recording all the birds they see and/or hear during that 10-minute survey period, recording the time and distance for each detection. #NevadaBirdCount

You never know where the #NevadaBirdCount will bring you! Metropolis Ghost Town was established in 1910 as an agricultural community and quickly grew to a population of 700. Lack of water, a typhoid epidemic, rabbits, and Mormon crickets plagued the town and its crops. #Nevada

One of our major #NevadaBirdCount projects in 2025 included setting out Automated Recording Units to record bird song on BLM habitat survey sites. We then overlaid NBC point counts and area searches on a subset of these sites. We're still analyzing the data, but are looking forward to the results!

What do bird surveyors do after the field season is over?! A post- #NevadaBirdCount road trip to Arizona for more birding, of course!

We also investigated the response of the bird community along Las Vegas Wash to restoration activities. It’s a complicated and fascinating story, but overall diversity and abundance increased in the project area – particularly outside of the breeding season.

Pinyon-juniper removal projects are common in the Great Basin. We were asked to look at the impacts of these projects on the bird community in several areas, including in the Pine Nut Mountains, in western Nevada. #NevadaBirdCount

With these data, we’re able to help map distributions, develop habitat models, and estimate abundance & occupancy. We can also investigate the effects of management actions on the bird communities. The scale of these analyses varies from the size of a park to the breadth of Nevada. #NevadaBirdCount
