Hello birders!
This morning Intermountain Bird Observatory songbird banders caught a young female American Redstart at our Lucky Peak banding station in Ada County. She was released about a half hour ago.
Visitors are welcome, but please read the following info before you come up!
We band daily from 7am-12pm, so if you come up during those hours, please be mindful that we do have banding operations going. You’re welcome to check out what we’re doing, and check in with the banders about where you can walk. Please do NOT use playback at our site, and stay on the main trails or ask a bander. Note that the road to the site (highland valley road off Highway 21) requires high clearance and 4WD/AWD. You can park at the top of the road where there is a gate and outhouse, and walk into our site through the pedestrian walk-in gate.
Thanks!
