Aechmophorus Grebe Study
Plumas and Lassen counties are home to some of the largest breeding populations of grebes in the Intermountain West. In 2010 The Audubon Society launched a multi-year collaborative project with Audubon California, providing 3 California Audubon Chapters (Plumas, Redbud, and Altacal) with the means to monitor and determine threats to the nesting colonies at selected lakes throughout Northern California in an attempt to increase reproductive success. We are currently in the third year of surveys on our local lakes. Learn more about the Grebe Project. >>
