About the Intermountain Bird Observatory Lucky Peak Research Station
The Intermountain Bird Observatory Lucky Peak Research Station is a must-visit destination for bird enthusiasts in Boise, Idaho. Located on Route East Shaw Mountain Road, this research station offers a unique opportunity to observe and learn about a variety of bird species during their fall migration.
Visitors can witness songbird banding activities from July 16 to October 15, with the best viewing times in the morning hours. Diurnal raptor activities take place from August 25 to the end of October, with peak viewing times in September and early October. Flammulated Owls can be seen in early/mid September, while Northern Saw-whet Owls peak from mid-September to mid-October.
Access to the Lucky Peak station requires a four-wheel or all-wheel-drive high-clearance vehicle, as the road is steep and winding with high water bars. Visitors should be experienced drivers and avoid driving during or shortly after rain showers. The station is located within the Boise River Wildlife Management Area, and visitors assume all risks associated with accessing the site.
The main banding site is partially handicap accessible, with level and sandy ground around the station. The Hawk watch area is not fully accessible, but the station can be accessed by vehicle or van with prior arrangement.
In addition to bird watching opportunities, visitors can support the research station by purchasing shirts from their Bonfire Store. The IBO Lucky Peak Research Station has been conducting research and education efforts since 1993, making it a valuable resource for bird conservation and study.
