Join Golden Eagle Audubon and the Wednesday Birders at Kathryn Albertson Park for an easy-paced morning stroll. We'll be taking time to appreciate the winter landscape and observe various bird behaviors throughout our walk.
Kathryn Albertson Park is a 41-acre special use park located near downtown Boise, and is part of the Idaho Birding Trail. A haven for wildlife and quiet contemplation, the park features wide, paved paths and outdoor gazebos in a beautiful natural setting. The most common summer birds here are songbirds, geese, ducks, kingfishers, and herons.
