Description

Join SIBA for a tour through Ponderosa Pine Country of Garden Valley and Boise Basin. Location: Meet at the Chevron Parking Lot in Horseshoe Bend at 7:30am. Garden Valley, specifically the Schoolhouse Gulch area, has a good selection of Ponderosa Pine habitat and its accompanying birds, like White-headed Woodpecker, Pygmy nuthatches, and Western Bluebirds. These residents and early migrant arrivals will be tuning up for spring and should be available for us. Afterward we will cut across Boise Basin toward Harris Creek Summit looking for more Yellow Pine birds. Plan for a full day. Plan for winter or spring weather. Dress warmly, bring water, snacks, and a lunch. Space is limited; sign up soon.
