Lower Valley birding tour

Explore the Lower Valley with Flathead Audubon and birder Craig Hohenberger on March 2.

Birders will look for wintering raptors, snow buntings and nesting owls. Mild weather and open water may make it also possible to observe swans and early migrating waterfowl. Meet to carpool at 9 a.m. at the Somers Park and Ride at the intersection of U.S. Highway 93 and Montana Highway 82. Bring binoculars or spotting scopes, snacks and dress for the weather. For information and to sign up, call Kathy Ross at 837-3837. All ages and birding abilities are welcome.
