The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop - The idea that started the workshop series One of the main goals behind the first avian monitoring and identification workshop was to create a pathway for veterans interested in environmental careers. Veterans often bring field awareness, discipline, safety experience, communication skills, and the ability to work in challenging outdoor conditions. Those strengths can transfer well into biological monitoring, environmental compliance, construction monitoring, nesting bird surveys, and field survey work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1782419132392-YAACNEDZS91UAPXJUOKO/Avian%2BWorkshop%2BDecember%2B13-15%2B2025%2B-%2BKent%2BWagner%2B-%2B9.jpg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1782419080969-ITBEE4ZJOXERIMSGH3ML/Avian+Workshop+December+13-15+2025+-+Kent+Wagner+-+8.jpeg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1782419149414-9I5IY1TWEK7PMF52QT2N/Avian%2BWorkshop%2BDecember%2B13-15%2B2025%2B-%2BKent%2BWagner%2B-%2B7.jpg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1782419083670-98960ZNQL18ZSR3GPS1F/Avian+Workshop+December+13-15+2025+-+Kent+Wagner+-+5.jpeg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1782419085150-4DILTSQYURE6VB0JUN4A/Avian+Workshop+December+13-15+2025+-+Kent+Wagner+-+4.jpeg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1782419086007-3BZ33ZR1FQNJ3C5YY010/Avian+Workshop+December+13-15+2025+-+Kent+Wagner+-+3.jpeg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1782419087685-W8IFUDSKNMZK0JE8FDSE/Avian+Workshop+December+13-15+2025+-+Kent+Wagner+-+2.jpeg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1782419088321-WWXW51INY4L5CEP07MMZ/Avian+Workshop+December+13-15+2025+-+Kent+Wagner+-+12.jpeg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1782419090580-YJIUXMUSMNFM4T7X95KF/Avian+Workshop+December+13-15+2025+-+Kent+Wagner+-+11.jpeg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1782419090632-JE4BJP9S8RG2B12ZQGH8/Avian+Workshop+December+13-15+2025+-+Kent+Wagner+-+10.jpeg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1782419092946-6IH35VT36JVKAZGGTAS9/Avian+Workshop+December+13-15+2025+-+Kent+Wagner+-+1.jpeg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/5994e327-745b-4ff3-b4ee-c02d586c91dd/20251214_181459563_iOS.jpg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop - Three days of hands-on avian monitoring and identification The December workshop was hosted from December 13 to 15, 2025. It was based in Las Vegas and included field time at Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve, Floyd Lamb Park, Rainbow Owl Preserve, and surrounding Mojave Desert field sites. The workshop gave participants a practical introduction to avian field identification, monitoring techniques, habitat observation, and compliance considerations. Participants spent time outside using binoculars, watching bird behavior, practicing field observation, taking notes, and learning how avian observations connect to real biological monitoring work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/ed501397-1bba-4e79-8a0f-32e689dfeac4/20251213_182338776_iOS.jpg Blog - The Story Behind Desert Shield’s First Avian Field Identification & Monitoring Workshop - Why the December workshop mattered The first workshop was more than a single training event. It became proof that Desert Shield’s training model could meet a real need. While some Veterans were interested, there were a lot more biologists interested. Field professionals wanted more opportunities to improve. For Desert Shield, that was the turning point. The December workshop showed that the company could support workforce development, environmental compliance, and better field capability through hands-on biological training. https://www.desert-shield.co/blog-1/tag/biological+monitors monthly 0.5 https://www.desert-shield.co/blog-1/tag/avian+monitoring monthly 0.5 https://www.desert-shield.co/blog-1/tag/avian+specialist monthly 0.5 https://www.desert-shield.co/blog-1/tag/avian+workshop monthly 0.5 https://www.desert-shield.co/blog-1/tag/nesting+bird+monitors monthly 0.5 https://www.desert-shield.co/blog-1/tag/compliance+biologists monthly 0.5 https://www.desert-shield.co/blog-1/tag/mojave+avian+biologist monthly 0.5 https://www.desert-shield.co/blog-1/tag/environmental+compliance+training monthly 0.5 https://www.desert-shield.co/blog-1/tag/Las+Vegas+biological+monitoring monthly 0.5 https://www.desert-shield.co/blog-1/tag/migratory+bird+surveyors monthly 0.5 https://www.desert-shield.co/blog-1/tag/field+biology+training monthly 0.5 https://www.desert-shield.co/blog-1/tag/field+biology+workshop monthly 0.5 https://www.desert-shield.co/home daily 1.0 2026-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1770162561227-BJOR6GBFI4IW35K9XJD5/unsplash-image-NvPKlQ1Nx1A.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/ae74fbfd-da1b-4497-9066-ffc8b3ae2154/20230512_160010978_iOS.jpg https://www.desert-shield.co/about daily 0.75 2026-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/de2b2b05-1d2b-4971-a658-1e86113c0b1f/%237+-+Caitlin+-+HeadshotPro.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/d5ecc838-4ba8-4866-adb4-d8ebb21c6e2a/Josh+%231.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/760de289-0d0f-4cc9-9e72-5a9e5ccee8e5/ef724c94-585c-450b-98d3-a967c271f3ea.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/4053a63f-3fe5-430f-a27a-702bf633ce52/3b683a55-b938-4f62-aacb-b574e2ffe4ed.jpg https://www.desert-shield.co/contact daily 0.75 2025-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/3bdb6d10-238d-4768-8891-6674ff6fee23/AdobeStock_35214000.jpeg https://www.desert-shield.co/services daily 0.75 2026-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/3e2fd245-4677-41f1-bf57-b491d982a96b/20181011_145351000_iOS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/6ddedb25-74c3-4dc8-8009-56b975ed0725/Image.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1755362184026-O5GQU98E3801D7BF6END/unsplash-image-Vu38TclLaNo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/b680c346-0951-4838-9c1b-4a3c2ea78136/unsplash-image-No73r0Dy9wE.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68895db1caecae0822a8d14b/1755362319313-ZW3TSPGZS18FZP0WO29P/unsplash-image-eKY6_9W_iqY.jpg
