Today’s Guided nature Program…
INTRODUCTION TO BIRD WATCHING
A remarkable variety of birds can be found in the Bogus Basin area. The forests and meadow areas offer tremendous opportunities for observing these active and colorful feathered residents. If you’ve ever had the desire to learn more about the identity and habits of the birds in the forests outside of Boise, try our Introduction to Bird Watching. This Guided Nature Program is designed to help new and beginning birders find, recognize and examine Bogus Basin birds engaged in any number of activities including nesting and territorializing. This program is only one of the many guided nature programs offered this summer.

Meet your Guide!
Hit the trail with Ray Vizgirdas, retired Wildlife Biologist and lifelong Naturalist for this installment of our Guided Snowshoe Program series. With over three decades of experience working for state and federal agencies, Ray knows a thing or two about the outdoors (he has literally authored guidebooks about the flora at Bogus Basin!). On select Saturday afternoons, Ray will cover a new topic relevant to the time of year. Whether it’s winter animal adaptations or emergency snow shelters, you’re bound to learn a thing or two on your outing.
