Surveying Nevada's Fiercest Raptor with Wildlife Diversity Biologist Mackenzie Jeffress

Travel Nevada

Some of you out there seem to believe there's not much more to wildlife in Nevada than a handful of rattlesnakes, road runners and coyotes. But you better believe that Nevada is home to more than 800 non-hunted species, stretching from the Mojave Desert in southern Nevada, all the way up to the Great Basin in the northern part of the state. In this edition, TravelNevada speaks with the Nevada Department of Wildlife on the diversity of wildlife found throughout the Silver State. Best yet, Wildlife Diversity Biologist Mackenzie Jeffress describes the Northern Goshawk and American Pika as some of the more fascinating wildlife found along the Rubies Route road trip in northeastern Nevada.
