“This time last year, we were entering an uncertain fall season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fast forward to the fall of 2021 and we continue to innovate by adding outdoor classes, new camps and activities to keep the whole family engaged. Please know our team will continue to maintain the health and safety protocols that have allowed us to fully and successfully open our business practices this year. Our hope is the programming offered by our Parks and Recreation team in the coming months will create an uninterrupted and awesome experience for our customers. On behalf of Mayor Lauren McLean, the Boise City Council and our Parks and Recreation Commission, please enjoy the change of seasons with a healthy and affordable activity.”

FIELD GUIDE

To Boise’s Birds Birds are found in nearly every city setting, from urban microparks to the sprawling foothills that border our northeastern edge. Birds visit backyard feeders, perch in low shrubs and on tall structures, swim in our river, lakes and ponds, nest in our trees and soar overhead. A variety of Boise’s habitats attract and support hundreds of species, and we invite you to explore some of the area’s most common birds.

The Field Guide to Boise’s Birds is available free online. A printed version is available for purchase at the Boise Parks and Recreation Administration Office for $8 plus tax.
