🐦 ID challenge time!

We shared a, ID challenge video a couple of weeks ago of a curlew, and asked if you thought it was easy or hard. To which we received a unanimous 'easy!'

So we thought we'd ramp things up a bit and share this video, which had some of our researchers scratching their heads. Can you name this species?

What to bring:
Comfortable clothes & shoes for short walks (¼ mile or less), water, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and binoculars if you have them. We'll have a few extra pairs plus spotting scopes on hand!

Here's a glimpse at just one of the projects you'll help fund by donating to Birds of Prey NCA Partnership this Idaho Gives!

We've been out in the NCA working with our partners at the Bureau of Land Management - Idaho, as well as members of the Northwest Youth Corps, to install native shrubs, grasses and forbs in area of the NCA that have been impacted by fire.

By improving these habitats, we create more habitat for the prey species that raptors relying, facilitating growth in wildlife populations throughout the area.

Please help us continue this work by donating between May 4-7 👉
