Summer Bird Photography at Pamela Baker Park
About this Event
Registration is required to attend this event, as space is limited. Individuals on the waitlist will be contacted with instructions if a spot becomes available. Only those who have completed Eventbrite registration and received a confirmation email may attend, including attendees needed for accessibility assistance.
Join Golden Eagle Audubon for a scenic photography trip along the scenic trails at Pamela Baker Park. Our walk follows the river through a beautiful stretch of riparian habitat, offering plenty of opportunities to photograph birds and enjoy the landscape along the way. Birds that return to Boise during spring migration are back, providing opportunities to photography them in the bustle of nesting and raising their young. Field trip leaders will provide advice on camera settings and photo composition, while helping you capture images of birds in a lovely summer setting. Long lenses are recommended for catching distance shots.
