Although a rather longish drive, a group of 14, including myself, drove to the CSKT Bison Range in Moise to enjoy a day of bird and wildlife watching. Morning rain prompted us to begin our day in the Visitor’s Center where CSKT employee Emily provided a tour and taught us about the
Bison Range Restoration and the natural history of the range.
During a walk around the interpretive trail we identified native plants. Driving over Red Sleep Mountain we sighted 45 bird species, about 200 head of bison, mule deer, white-tailed deer, pronghorn – one with two fawns – and a black bear. We also saw a fox on the way into the range. Welcome sunshine warmed us up as we strolled around the pond at the end of a very fun and bountiful day.
