Mono
Lake:
- --
Mono Lake and its surrounding watershed
encompass a unique region in California.
Sagebrush, Jeffrey pines, volcanoes, tufa
towers, gulls, grebes, brine shrimp, alkali
flies, freshwater streams, and alkaline waters
comprise an unlikely world at the transition
between the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the
Great Basin Desert. Pronghorn antelope graze in
the Bodie Hills while yellow-bellied Marmots
bask in the High Sierra summer sun. Great Basin
spadefoot toads fill the evening air with an
endless chorus of croaking while Nighthawks hunt
for insects in the fading twilight. Trillions of
brine shrimp eat and mate beneath the briny
waters of Mono Lake as Wilson's Phalaropes feast
on alkali flies in preparation for their
non-stop flight to South America. Embracing 14
different ecological zones, over 1000 plant
species, and roughly 400 recorded vertebrate
species within its watershed, Mono Lake and its
surrounding basin encompass one of California's
richest natural areas.
