Idaho Bird Observatory is a non-profit research unit of Boise State University. Our mission is to contribute to the conservation of western migratory landbirds through cooperative research and public education. In 1993, we discovered that the Boise Ridge, just a few miles from downtown Boise, supports one of the largest known raptor and songbird migrations in the western US during autumn. A long-term project has been established at Lucky Peak, the southernmost peak on the ridge, to annually count the number of migrating raptors during fall to provide reliable population trend information on western species. Long term raptor banding projects also have been established to identify migration routes, wintering areas, breeding areas, and mortality factors. In 1997, a long-term songbird monitoring project was initiated that consists of songbird mist netting and count surveying. In 1999, a standardized forest owl monitoring and banding project was initiated that targets Northern Saw-whet and Flammulated Owls. Since then, we have developed year-round research, education, and volunteer involvement programs centered around this remarkable natural phenomenon. High priority also is given to promoting public wildlife viewing, environmental education, and community volunteer programs. The IBOs longest-running research and education effort is a fall migration project located on the Boise Ridge. The Boise Ridge is one of only a few known sites in the western US where great numbers of …
