A number of folks have kindly volunteered to help with Audubon California's survey of Mountain Plovers  this month, but we can always use more help. The survey will run Jan. 20 through 24 in sites all around the state. Some of the areas we’ll be focusing on include the Sacramento Valley, San Joaquin Valley, Tulare Basin, Imperial Valley, Panoche Valley, Carrizo Plain. If you want to participate, please contact Alex Hartman via email at chartman@audubon.org, or call (916) 649-7600. (photo by Greg Smith)
