Sean Basilio

A smiling man with sunglasses and a green hat holds a small rodent in a desert landscape with bushes and blue sky. Big sagebrush, kangaroo rat, cutest small mammal in the beautiful state of Nevada and the world.

A seasoned wildlife biologist based out of Elko, Nevada, with over seven years of field and consulting experience across the western U.S. He leads ground and aerial raptor and Golden Eagle nesting surveys and directs Greater Sage-Grouse monitoring projects. Sean conducts avian surveys across diverse habitats in multiple states, including NV, ID, OR, WY, MT, AZ, CO, NM, CA, NE, KS, and both Carolinas.

His technical skills extend to small-mammal trapping, desert tortoise and Pinyon Jays, amphibian and Burrowing Owl monitoring, prairie dog assessments, and special-status plant inventories. Sean also performs habitat mapping, develops targeted survey designs, and produces clear, regulator-ready technical reports for USFWS, BLM, and NDOW. Practical, field-focused, and safety-minded, he delivers reliable survey results and actionable recommendations for permitting and operational needs.
