KALISPELL — It is December and time for the 20th annual Kalispell bird count on Sunday, Dec. 30. Centered at Reserve and Highway 93, the 15-mile-diameter-count circle includes Evergreen, and much of the Flathead River corridor, including the Owen Sowerwine Natural Area, Happy Valley, Herron Park, and the Kuhn’s Wildlife Area. This count is “young” enough that we still have much to discover and “urban” enough to include the homes, bird feeders, and favorite birding spots of many of our members. Our traditional start is a group breakfast at 7 a.m. at 4B’s Restaurant (formerly Finnegan’s) at 660 E. Idaho Street. The group will finish assigning circle segments and field teams for the day’s efforts. If you are interested in participating, contact Pete Fisher at: fisherpete88@yahoo.com or 406- 250-9624.
The program is free and open to the public. For more information, go to: www.flatheadaudubon.org.
