Creston Raptor Quest

Please join Flathead Audubon leader Michell De Leon Tyler to look for winter-resident raptors as we travel the roads around Creston. Migration, with its large numbers of raptors passing through on their way south, is nearing an end, but many birds overwinter in the Flathead Valley. We will focus on roadside identification of Red-tailed and Rough-legged Hawks in various plumages and will also look for resident owls. We should see a few Bald Eagles, as the route takes us along the Flathead River.

Other raptors, such as accipiters and falcons, are also possible.

If weather permits, we will take a short walk around Jessup Pond. Wear sturdy boots and layers suitable for possible wet conditions, and bring binoculars and water.

Meet at the Creston Fish Hatchery parking lot across from Jessup Pond.
