On June 16th our group of nine embarked on an exciting birdwatching adventure field trip to the Lower Firebrand Trail in Glacier National Park. The trail offered a serene and picturesque setting, perfect for observing the diverse avian life in the area. During our walk, we were thrilled to spot a total of 41 bird species. Highlights included the majestic Sandhill Crane, elusive Waterthrush, powerful Golden Eagle, and a variety of ducks. Each species added to the richness of our experience, making the trip both educational and enjoyable.
In addition to birdwatching, we took time to appreciate the native plants along the trail. One of the most memorable moments was seeing bitterroot in full blossom, its vibrant flowers adding a splash of color to the landscape. Overall, the field trip was a great success, providing us with an opportunity to connect with nature, learn about local wildlife, and enjoy the beauty of Glacier National Park.
