Hi Folks & happy holidays 🙂
I know this has been shared on the Golden Eagle Audubon events page but I wanted to put in an extra plug for any birders that will be in/around Boise this weekend as we would gladly take your help in counting!  If you are interested, even if only for part of a day or a small area – including counting birds at your feeder, please contact Robert Magill (rmagill@wswildlife.com) and myself (carlislejay@yahoo.com) … especially if you know you would like to lead/co-lead a specific area.  Robert is coordinating the pre-count efforts to ensure a smooth transition from the past compiler RL Rowland who provided years of help in the past.

Golden Eagle Audubon Society – Events

Meeting spot is the Trophy Room, Idaho Fish and Game HQ, 600 S Walnut St, Boise, ID 83712, USA (map); northeast entrance on the back side of the building.  Note that the events page and announcement in the Audubon e-newsletter says to meet at 630am but we’re changing it to 7am (what we’ve done in the past too) – thus, unless you’ve made arrangements with us ahead of time, see you ~7am on Saturday!

There are no fees to participate, just your time, a bit of gas, and some walking. The Boise count circle is divided to provide all counters with an opportunity to count while walking and driving; remember to dress for the weather.  We have a lot of habitat to cover, and we need birders to cover all of it. After the count we will meet up at the Trophy Room again for a potluck from 6-7:30 or so. Since this is a state-owned building, NO alcohol is allowed (sorry!).
Thanks,
Jay
