Thx for posting this Denise.

Wow, we’ll really miss that place as one of our favorite birding stops over the last several years!!
But, we get it – the liability issue – and realize how lucky we were to have had access, eh?

I just received a text from Christina who works at the Kuna STP. Effective immediately no one is allowed to enter the pond area. Christina says that new signs will be put up that state ‘authorized personnel only’. Birders are not authorized to enter as our permission to enter has been revoked.

Christina says the city of Kuna is concerned about liability and that is the reason for the closure.

I know this has been a place for great bird sightings but let’s all follow the rules.

Can the person who does the ebird hotspots for this part of Idaho change the data so it no longer shows up as a hotspot. Visitors to our area might enter the STP without realizing that entry is prohibited.
