O'Neal Ecological Reserve
The O'Neal Ecological
Reserve was donated to the Department of Biological Sciences by Robin
O'Neal. This 100 acre site, located along the Portneuf River between
McCammon and Inkom, contains riparian areas along the river and upland
areas on lava benches. Riparian areas include several permanent ponds
that are used as nesting sites by a variety of bird species. This site
has been used by faculty, graduate students, and classes for studies of
magpie behavior, amphibians, vegetation, and insects.
