Birdwatching in Idaho

Birding contacts and birdwatching information



Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

		I've been an off-and-on birder for about 30yrs. Didn't start hard-core birding until after I retired from the US Air Force (USAF) some 13yrs. ago. My birding has so far been only in the continental 48 states.

		I live in south central Idaho near Sun Valley ski resort in a transition between shrub steppe and coniferous forest. On a long day in early June it is possible to see 130 species in our sparsely populated area. I know the area well and can point you in the right direction at least and show you around at most.

		I'm located in the inland northwest - eastern WA and northern Idaho (Moscow is 70 miles southeast of Spokane, WA). I'm available for short local birding trips with advanced notice. I'm also happy to provide information or additional contacts for birders visiting the area. I may provide longer guided tours in the region in the future. Contact me for more information.

		My favorite birding activity is watching Sage and Sharp-tailed Grouse on leks during April and May. I also enjoy birding all months of the year. I would be happy to take one or two people with me on my trips in Southeastern Idaho, Yellowstone Park or Island Park area of Idaho.
