The Current: Earth Month Edition

Spring time is great for birdwatching. Idaho Power offers free bird checklists and maps of our wildlife habitats to help you make the most of the experience.
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.
