Winter & Spring 2011 Mono Lake Newsletter now online for members

Yesterday I woke up to a Say’s Phoebe’s windy call outside my window. Today I went for a little cross-country ski at lunch. What does that mean? It’s time for the Winter & Spring 2011 Mono Lake Newsletter to sprout.

As snowflakes fell this winter the Mono Lake Committee staff wrote up a storm of their own. You’ll find great articles on GFAJ-1 (the infamous arsenic-eating bacteria), the unusual winter flows on Rush Creek, a status report on the California Gull colony, a fresh look at Mill Creek’s water, the Mono Lake Committee’s mission to balance the water needs of people and the environment with a 21st Century aqueduct, and lots more little gems from all of your favorite staff writers. Plus, the Field Seminars are in there … sign up soon to get your spot.

If you’re a Mono Lake Committee member you can log in to see the Newsletter online now. Enjoy!
