Join us this summer in Missoula for Montana Audubon’s annual birding festival, hosted this year by Five Valleys Audubon Society. We are pleased to announce this year’s keynote speaker will be Dr. Erick Greene, professor emeritus at the University of Montana. Dr. Greene will highlight one of Missoula’s most famous inhabitants, Iris the Osprey, one of the oldest known Osprey in the world. He’ll also share insights from years of research on Osprey and what they tell us about the local environment and watershed. Registration opens in March. Keep an eye out for more information coming soon!
