Monthly Program

Insects in Decline

Insects are, by far, the most biodiverse organism on the planet. From little-known beetles to the Monarch butterfly, insects are vital to both natural ecosystems and our own economy. Are our six-legged friends in trouble? Golden Eagle Audubon Board Member and entomologist, Sierra Laverty, will take us on a bug's-eye journey of threats that face insects in the 21st century. Sierra will also address what can be done to protect insects.

Free and everyone is welcome.

Sixty Years of Studying Golden Eagles

Mike Kochert will present major findings of the long-term studies of Golden Eagle nesting in southwestern Idaho that have continued uninterrupted since 1966.  He will discuss overall Golden Eagle biology, eagle-prey-habitat relationships, and the responses of the nesting eagle population to massive habitat and environmental changes that have occurred in the southwestern Idaho during the last 45 years.  He will also relate these changes to conservation challenges facing managers of the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area in southwestern Idaho where he has worked for 55 years.  Additionally, Mike will share some of his memorable experiences while studying Golden Eagles during the last half century.        

Free and everyone is welcome.

On the 3rd Tuesday of most months, we provide our members with a chance to come and enjoy a presentation on a variety of bird-related topics. We often arrange to have local birders share their favorite birding places or experiences, biologists talk about their research, and natural resource professionals update us on wildlife and land management strategies.
