Spring is a great time for birdwatching along the Snake River Canyon. From raptors soaring along the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area, to countless smaller birds nesting or just pausing while migrating to summer homes.
Idaho Power manages over 25,000 acres of wildlife habitat, from Hagerman to Hells Canyon, where company biologists protect natural resources, cultivate wildlife-friendly plants, reduce shoreline erosion and control weeds to improve the habitat and diversity of local wildlife.
A wide range of birds inhabit these management areas, either year-round or temporarily while migrating elsewhere. Whether you're an avid birdwatcher or just a casual enthusiast, check out our regional bird checklists to help you keep an eye out while enjoying everything the area has to offer.

| | | Spring Means Moving Day for Steelhead and Sturgeon | Activity has been picking up at our fish hatcheries, especially at Niagara Springs south of Wendell, where Idaho Power and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) raise nearly two million steelhead per year. Our tankers arrive daily to take juvenile steelhead to Hells Canyon, where the fish are released to begin their journey to the Pacific Ocean.
Next door, our new white sturgeon conservation hatchery is just starting to "graduate" its first class of sturgeon. Working with IDFG, Idaho Power biologists will add about 2,000 young sturgeon to the Snake River by early summer.

April is National Safe Digging Month, so as you spruce up your yard this spring, we hope you'll take extra care before digging. | - Before you dig, call 811 to locate any underground utility lines buried in your yard. This service is free and can prevent safety hazards, potential power outages and costly repairs. Be sure to call at least two business days ahead of your planned digging.
- If you're planting trees, be aware of overhead power lines. When tree branches touch power lines, they can cause outages and create safety concerns. Plan for tree growth, and plant the right tree in a safe location.
- Adjust sprinklers to avoid spraying overhead lines.
- Chat with kids about how to stay safe around electrical equipment, including flying kites away from power lines and never climbing on the green boxes (transformers) often found in neighborhoods.
- Assume all power lines are energized and dangerous, and keep ladders and other objects a safe distance from power lines — at least 10 feet.
- Stay clear of downed power lines and call 911 and Idaho Power immediately at 1-800-488-6151.
