Shorebirds, Waterfowl, Gulls and Terns

An Important Bird Area just outside of Yellowstone National Park. One of the most overlooked and under appreciated birding destinations in Idaho, Island Park Reservoir attracts more than its share of vagrant shorebirds and other waterbirds as well as flocks of migrant songbirds in the fall. Because of the unique accessibility, shorebirding is up close and personal. All this combined with the endless birding opportunities offered by the mountains and forests of the Island Park Caldera makes it a top choice for birders exploring eastern Idaho.
