Join trained biologists from the Intermountain Bird Observatory as they catch, band, and release wild owls along the Boise River! This exciting event is part of a new migration research project focused on Saw-whet Owls and their use of the river corridor.
Experience owl research in action beginning at sunset with net checks every 45 minutes. A short presentation by IBO crews will kick off the evening. You will learn about owl migration and conservation, and may see owls up close, and possibly assist with releasing them back into the wild.
Bird banding is unpredictable. Please note the event is weather dependent and owl captures cannot be guaranteed. Donations help keep this vital research going—please consider giving online or at the door. All ages welcome!
Important: No dogs, smoking, or vaping. Stay on trails to avoid poison ivy. Parking and details:
Accessibility: A portable restroom is available in the parking lot. All ages welcome. This event includes walking in low light over uneven terrain. Our site is partially wheelchair accessible, but please arrange with us ahead of time.
