Field notes
The overview sets birding within the region’s water and conservation history, including Mono Lake’s diversion disputes and Owens Lake’s return as shorebird habitat through dust-control flooding. Its seasonal table gives practical timing: sage-grouse leks are listed for March–May before sunrise, while Mono Lake grebes peak in fall. The site also links to a dedicated lek-etiquette page.
