Enjoy an early spring birding trip to one of western Montana’s premier birding locations with veteran birder Sneed Collard, author of the new book Birding for Boomers—and Everyone Else Brave Enough to Embrace the World’s Most Rewarding and Frustrating Activity. The trip will focus on waterfowl, raptors, and early spring migrants as well as our resident year-round species, and is appropriate for birders of all ages and abilities.
