For the Birds!
Cruise on down to Laughlin for the Second Annual Wings and Wildlife Festival March 11 to the 15th. Headquartered at the Riverside Resort Hotel, visit www.snbwtp.org for registration details with spectacular bird and wildlife photos, or call Cherie Westbrook, Laughlin Visitor’s Bureau, 702.892.0711.

Seminars cover everything from Falconry to Bats, Hummingbirds, Mojave Desert plants and how to get the most from your binoculars! Saturday includes Kid Fest besides showcasing Ted Floyd, Editor of Birding as keynote speaker, plus 20 exhibitors. Laughlin is a quick jaunt from us; just over an hour’s drive south on Highway 95.

Volunteers are needed again for the Great American Cleanup on Saturday, March 6 at Boulder Harbor, Lake Mead. Last year at Government Wash, 500 bags of litter and 300 pounds of glass were extracted. Call Jennifer Winston at 702.293.8711 to sign up.

Neat Nevada Notes: Our beautiful Red Rock Canyon was officially recognized in 1967, and became a National Conservation Area about 1990. Home to Mojave Max, his various Desert Tortoise relatives, Burros, Bunnies and Big Horn Sheep, this stunning area took millions of years to evolve. At about 13 miles, the Scenic Loop Drive takes in only a tiny portion of the 130 square miles of Mother Nature’s finest. The Visitor’s Center has lots of information, and great shopping opportunities, including a Mojave Max section. Overseen by the Bureau of Land Management, the entrance fee is only $5 per car. Hiking and rock climbing challenge your body and petroglyphs will challenge your imagination! About 18 miles west of the Strip on West Charleston, take SR 159 to the Visitor’s Center. 702.515.5378 for program times and activity reservations. www.mojavemax.com has a cool webcam and check out the Emergence Contest. March is the perfect month to visit before summer erupts!
