Wednesday Birders at Garden City Greenbelt

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 walk along a scenic portion of the Boise Greenbelt in Garden City. We will meet at a residential area near the West Greenbelt Bridge in Garden City, and from there we'll walk west past Riverside Pond on the Greenbelt path. The route will be flat and paved, and is around 2 miles on an out-and back walk. We'll be on the lookout for mergansers, goldeneyes, wood ducks and other waterfowl on the river and local ponds, and songbirds like chickadees, kinglets, nuthatches, and finches in the trees and any feeders.
