Guided Birding Trip in Emmett

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 stroll around the Emmett Wastewater Treatment Ponds. The path around the ponds allows for great views of a variety of species including ducks and songbirds, and we may catch a glimpse of the resident Bald Eagles at their nest. The path is largely level and graveled with some minor rises.
