March 15, 2018



Winter migrant birds are out with early spring arrivals. Friends of Scotchman Peaks presents “Winter Birds” Saturday, March 24, at the Heron Community Center. The program starts at 9 a.m.

After a brief chat explaining some birding handouts, the group will visit field sites. The group will examine riverside, wetland and timbered edge habitats in pursuit of spotting birds of prey, waterfowl, woodpeckers and songbirds. In addition, they will seek roosting birds, owl pellets, tracks, sign, and listen for vocalizations.

The class is free to the public, and participants are asked to bring lunch, water, binoculars, spotting scopes, good winter boots and snowshoes if available. Full gas tanks and potential car pooling appreciated. This field program entails short and moderate hikes and will end at approximately 2:30 p.m.

To register, [email protected] or call 406-475-2847. Instructor Brian Baxter is a field ornithologist, has 17 years teaching and 40 years experience in the woods.
