Snake River Float Trip Nature Mapping Report for September 9, 2018

On this week’s Snake River float trip, we saw 20 species along the river and 23 species at Tipi Camp.  The majority of our sightings were birds, but we can’t forget about the chipmunk!  The weather is starting to cool down, but we’ll continue floating as long as we can. We are thankful to everyone who joined us on the river to support the Nature Mapping program.
