Migratory Bird Day Presentation At Sacajawea Center

In celebration of International Migratory Bird Day, the Salmon Region Nongame Wildlife program is sponsoring a free public program on Thursday, May 8.

Fly on over to the Sacajawea Center’s Meriwether Theater at 7:30 p.m. for a presentation by renowned Idaho ornithologist Chuck Trost tiitled “Marathon Migrants: The Shorebirds of Idaho.”

Trost is professor emeritus of biology at Idaho State University, as well as curator emeritus at the Idaho Museum of Natural History.

Trost’s enthusiasm and fascination with all things avian will make this a fun evening for the whole family.

There will be refreshments and free posters for participants.

Birders and would-be birders are also invited to join a 6:30 p.m. bird walk at the Sacajawea Center before the presentation.
