Smith Lake Birding

Join FAS field trip leader Darcy Thomas for a morning of birdwatching. We will walk a portion of the paved Great Northern Historical Trail along Smith Lake before driving around the lake stopping at the boat launch and other pullouts along the way to view birds. Smith Lake is a complex of large, shallow wetlands and marsh, surrounded by stands of willow and other shrubs as well as conifers. We are likely to see Osprey, kestrel, warblers, vireos, blackbirds, waterfowl, herons, and cormorants. Vault toilet is available. Bring binoculars, water, and a spotting scope if you have one. To register contact Darcy at (406) 407-8263 or darcy@flatheadaudubon.org.
