Description:
Last Chance Audubon Field Trip to Freezout Lake WMA. Meet Janice Miller at Albertson's at 600 Fee Street at 10:00 a.m. on Sat. April 1st. This field trip is an overnight trip with hotel options in Choteau and Fairfield. "Freezout Lake is Montana's primary snow goose staging area, a place where up to 300,000 snow geese and 10,000 Tundra Swans gather and rest before flying onward to Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada." (From Visit MT.com.) We will meet with Michael Schwitters, FWP, who can answer our questions about the Refuge. We will plan to be at the Lake at sundown, and again at sunrise, to witness the hundreds of geese arriving or leaving under beautiful lighting. Other potential bird species: Bald Eagle, Red-tailed Hawk, Ring-necked Pheasant, Canada Geese, and other waterfowl. Bring binoculars, scope if desired, field guide, camera, snacks & water. Dress for the weather. We will return to Helena Sunday afternoon. Please contact Janice Miller for reservation and more info at jan2854@gmail.com
