How did you get involved with Friends of the Amargosa Basin? I first got involved with Friends of the Amargosa Basin through my friend Cameron Mayer, whom I met during grad school. When Cameron reached out about an opportunity to participate in habitat restoration...

Meet the wild burros of the Amargosa Basin! 🌾

These resilient animals have adapted to the harsh desert environment, thriving in the Amargosa Basin's unique ecosystem. Here, a protective mama burro stands watch over her young foal as they graze among the desert brush. 🧡

Wild burros, descendants of animals brought by miners in the 1800s, are now an iconic part of the desert landscape. But remember, while they may look friendly, it’s best to observe these beauties from a distance to keep them safe and wild.

The Amargosa River flowing past Eagle Mountain, a place of deep cultural and spiritual significance for the Timbisha Shoshone and Southern Paiute peoples. This landscape, with its natural beauty and sacred history, reminds us of the deep connections between land, water, and the Indigenous communities who have stewarded it for generations.

Beauty is in the eye of the roadrunner 🏜️

Today’s focus is on the greater roadrunner! One of the coolest desert dwellers, this speedy bird lives up to its name by running. While they’re incredibly fast, we’re sorry to say they can't outrun a coyote. But we wouldn’t be surprised if they could trick one into a dynamite mishap... though that sounds a bit looney 😉

These tough birds can eat rattlesnakes, venomous lizards, and scorpions with no ill effects. Plus, they snack on small rodents, insects, desert fruits, and even other birds! 🌵🐦
