Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
American Falls Reservoir

42.75 N   112.75 W
The reservoir attracts Bald Eagles as well as shorebirds and ducks. There are good viewing areas near the town of American Falls. Things may slow down in the summer, but can be quite exciting during the winter.

Camas National Wildlife Refuge
43.84 N   112.18 W
Look for waterbirds during the summer and search riparian areas for spring and fall migrants. This is a good spot to look for Peregrine Falcons.

Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge
43.50 N   116.80 W
Waterfowl are very abundant in winter. During migration they are joined by shorebirds. Late summer is a good time to see Ibis, Herons and Egrets.

Snake River
43.01 N   115.59 W
The Snake River Birds of Prey Natural Area near Boise has about 700 pair of nesting raptors! Visit from mid-March to early June. Watch out for falling Evel Knievels.
