Join phalarope researchers Ryan Carle and Kiki Tarr for an educational walk along the shore of South Tufa to learn phalarope identification and about conservation efforts at Mono Lake and globally. This two-hour walk is less than half a mile, appropriate for all age groups, and free. Bring binoculars (if you have them), sun protection, and water. Meet at the South Tufa Overflow lot, located about 1/2 mile West of South Tufa off Test Station Road.

Space is limited—sign up here.
