After 21 years, SSRS is bringing back this long-term monitoring project, and YOU CAN HELP!
From 1994-2005, SSRS’s predecessor, The Kern River Research Center, conducted annual Turkey Vulture counts in the Kern River Valley (KRV). This effort documented the fall migration of Turkey Vultures along one of the most important migration routes in the country. Now SSRS is working to bring the project back.
Why the KRV? The Kern River provides important roosting habitat, while the surrounding landscape funnels migrating vultures toward the Mojave Desert as they fly south.
Help SSRS find out what has changed in 21 years.
