This Ranger is for the Birds

Travel to the Snake River Canyon in southwestern Idaho–home to the largest concentration of nesting birds of prey in North America. There you’ll meet BLM Park Ranger Larry Ridenhour, our featured Resource Explorer.

Find out how to count newly hatched chicks in nests high up on a rocky cliff. And join with Larry as he helps scientists figure out why the numbers of some of these birds are declining.

Can you guess which part of the job Larry enjoys most? You’ll find the answer to this and many other questions as you click away on the following pages. And if there’s a question you have that’s not answered, feel free to ask. Larry will be waiting to hear from you!
