I have heard this as well. It caught me off guard the first couple times. It’s been going on for at least a year. =)Kim Liebich, boise

For two years I’ve heard those sounds repeated while walking or biking the Greenbelt. I suspect it’s meant to be a deterrent to birds using the commercial building for perching or nesting. The location where I’ve heard it is the North side of the river heading west just before going under Fairview Avenue.

Hope you don’t my sharing this concern with some of you local Boise Greenbelt regulars. I received this message from some of my friends who are volunteers for the Boise Greenbelt Patrol… Just curious if anyone can offer some information…. Thanks…

Jimmie,

I received this inquiry this morning from Greenbelt patrollers and wondered if you might know anything about it. Not a big deal; just curious.

“We were stopped by two ladies near the Shiloh Inn who asked about repeating bird noises they heard from trees on the Greenbelt. We finally decided these bird noises seem to be coming from a recorded loop. Does anyone know anything about this?”
