Warbler Weekend 2020 at Tally Lake

by Mike Fanning

Come and join us at The Tally Lake Campground for an extraordinary two days of birding and relaxing. The Pavilion Campsite at the campground has been reserved for us Sunday afternoon, 2 PM June 12 through Tuesday morning 11 AM June 14. There is space for RV’s and tents for those who want to spend the nights.

This is an ideal time of year to find a wide variety of migrant and resident birds; most notable is that virtually all of the warbler species which can be found in NW Montana are found here. Several of our expert birders will be available to lead us around the campground. Plenty of other activities can be enjoyed as well. You can bring canoes or kayaks, swim, hike on one of the trails near the campground, play ball games on the open grassy area, and play board games in the pavilion.

There is a fire ring for warmth and grates for cooking. We will have optional potluck meals Sunday and Monday evening around 6 PM. Please bring something to share if you want to join in. All other meals are up to you. Someone will show up Sunday afternoon to get a fire going, scout the area, and start creating a bird list. Please bring firewood if you have it and camp chairs to sit around the fire.

If you have any questions contact. Jill or Mike Fanning at 862-8070 or shrdlu@centurytel.net. Cost of camping is FREE, courtesy of FAS. Just tell them at the gate that you are with Flathead Audubon at the pavilion.
