Join the Intermountain Bird Observatory for our fall migration research at our remote Lucky Peak Research Station. Weather allowing, we will band songbirds, raptors, and owls daily throughout the fall. Visitors can meet our team of biologists, watch us conduct our research, and help us release the birds back into the wild after we've finished banding and measuring them. Drop-in visitors are welcome any time, and large groups may schedule field trips on our website. Check our website for specific times and dates for each project. We study Raptors, Owls, and Songbirds at various times. We hope to see you soon! For more information on when and how to visit, including driving directions, be sure to go to our Lucky Peak Station webpage. Songbird banding continues thru October 15th Diurnal Raptor banding and hawkwatch will begin August 15th and continue until the end of October. Owl banding will begin the night of August 28th and continue until October 28th.
