Birding Walk at Kathryn Albertson Park

Registration is required to attend this event as space is limited. Please make sure ALL fields in the registration form are completed and that a confirmation email is received.

Join Golden Eagle Audubon for a pleasant bird walk in Kathryn Albertson park. We'll be taking time to appreciate the winter landscape and observe various bird behaviors throughout our walk.

Kathryn Albertson Park is a 41-acre special use park located near downtown Boise, and is part of the Idaho Birding Trail. A haven for wildlife and quiet contemplation, the park features wide, paved paths and outdoor gazebos in a beautiful natural setting. The most common winter birds here are songbirds, geese, ducks, kingfishers, and herons, and we also see occasional vagrant species!
