Instead of wrestling with shopping carts and long lines this Black Friday, why not take a refreshing stroll in nature? Join the Black Friday Birding at Hyatt Hidden Lakes Reserve on November 29, 2024, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. Located at 5301 North Maple Grove Road, Boise, just a short drive from Meridian, Idaho, this event invites you to #OptOutside and immerse yourself in the beauty of local wildlife.

A Nature Escape

Forget about the chaos of holiday shopping and embrace the serenity of birdwatching with the Golden Eagle Audubon Society. This event is perfect for bird enthusiasts of all skill levels, especially beginners. The pace will be leisurely, allowing everyone to appreciate the birds and their behaviors in this urban nature area. You’ll have the chance to walk up to two miles along flat, packed dirt and gravel paths, with optional hills for those who want more adventure.

What to Expect

Participants aged 16 and older are welcome, but guardians must sign a waiver for those under 18. The meeting point is the parking lot off Maple Grove Road at 10:00 a.m. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes and dress in layers to adapt to the weather. Binoculars are highly recommended, but if you don’t have any, don’t worry—there will be some available for use.

Just remember, no dogs or bikes are allowed at Hyatt Hidden Lakes Reserve. You can check out recently reported species on eBird’s hotspot page for those curious about what birds might be spotted. It’s a fantastic way to get excited about what you might see!
