Field Trip Calendar
-
These events are open to the general public. Participants must accept total
responsibility for themselves and their possessions. To enhance the
birding experience for all, we encourage participants to read and follow the
birding Code of Ethics adopted by
the American Birding Association. We meet and try to car pool as
fitting. Come out and enjoy birding with us. Don't be shy, it is a fun learning experience
for all. For more field trip information, inquire at the program meeting, or
contact Terry Gray at (208) 882-1585

February 13—Valley Backyard Bird Count Field Trip;
Terry Gray.
Meet at the north parking lot of Sports Authority in Lewiston at 8:00
a.m.
This field trip will be like all our other trips except while birding
hotspots (such as Terminal 2), we will count all species as a separate
Backyard Bird Count. We will visit as many of the valley hotspots as
time allows. This will be an all day trip but can be half day for those
who want to stop early. The Great Backyard Bird Count runs from February
12-15, 2010. Participants count birds (at any location) for 15 minutes
and report them to http://www.birdcount.org/
