Snake River Float Trip Nature Mapping Report – May 6, 2018
We have started our Snake River float trips for the year, which means we’ve also started Nature Mapping! We ended up with 40 species of birds and mammals for the river and 24 species of birds mammals and amphibians for the camp. Spring is a great time to check out wildlife along the river. Our most common species was the Canada Goose. Below we have a report for our trip down the river as well as the wildlife we saw at Tipi Camp.
