Please make sure ALL fields in the registration form are completed and that a confirmation email is received.Join Golden Eagle Audubon on a caravanning field trip through the Montour Wildlife Management Area and the surrounding floodplains of the Payette River valley. These lowlands form a complex of cottonwood-willow river bottoms, wetlands and ponds, and agricultureal fields adjacent to the river.Plan for a full-day trip as we look for a variety of species at Montour, then up through Sweet, Ola, High Valley, and Sage Hen Reservoir. Most birding will take place on the road or near our vehicles.Our first stop is the Montour Wildlife Management Area where we will walk for about a mile along a level dirt road, looking for a myriad of local and migratory birds including nighthawks, warblers, vireos, rails, snipe, Soras, and a variety of waterfowl. We will make a restroom stop at the WMA campground before getting back on the road.From Montour we will drive up the valley through Sweet and Ola, then continue to High Valley and on to Sage Hen Reservoir. Above Ola the roads are dirt but generally passable by passenger cars all the way to Sage Hen. At these higher elevations we can expect cranes, woodpeckers, flycatchers, and vireos. We will make a stop at Sagehen's vault restrooms before returning along the same route. It may be possible to continue east from Sage Hen down to Smiths Ferry in high-clearance vehicles.Recently reported species can be seen here: https://ebird.org/hotspot/L548187Accessibility: This event may not be suitable for participants with visual impairments.
