Montana WILD and Last Chance Audubon Society present a beginner-friendly workshop for anyone curious about birds. Learn the basics of birding, including tools, identification by sight and sound, and how to observe and record birds in the field or at home. After a short indoor session, participants will head out for a guided walk around Spring Meadow Lake to practice skills and spot local species. Open to all ages but geared toward adults; youth 12 and under should be accompanied by an adult. Registration required.
Each day, volunteers stroll the Montana WILD grounds with our raptor ambassadors: hawks, owls, eagles, and falcons... These walks provide valuable enrichment for the birds and offer visitors a unique chance to meet them up close and learn about these incredible species.
All month long we will have crafts and educational activities set up in our classroom. Stop by any time Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
