Diverse habitats mean more feathered friends.
Great Basin National Park hosts plenty of species within five different types of rugged terrain. Find violet-green swallows, green-tailed towhees and bushtits in the ponderosa pines. Look for Clark’s nutcrackers and Steller’s jays in the alpine-aspen area. And head to the pinyon-juniper woods to see black-chinned, broad-tailed and rufous hummingbirds. On a lucky day, spot an American three-toed woodpecker at the campground.
