Tribal Stewards Returning to Malheur!
If you visit the Refuge this month, you may notice a crew of young adults assisting with lake surveys, harvesting willow for fence repairs, and learning how to conduct bird surveys.

Reflections
In my waning days at Malheur NWR, I got to spend a few hours in an airboat on Malheur Lake. I saw an abundance of marshbirds, white-faced ibis attempting to nest on Russian thistle (tumbleweed), clear water, and, as a silver lining of the recent severe drought, new emergent plant growth. Restoration progress!

Discovering Beetle Species at Malheur
In 2015, I taught a class called Discovering Insect Species at Oregon State University. The eleven of us (nine students, a graduate teaching assistant, and me) formed a research team studying the diversity of ground beetles of the genus Bembidion.
