Explore Amazing Bird Species This Summer In Montana
Warm weather is here and summer is on the way.
It's a great opportunity get outside, get some sun and fresh air a learn more about bird species and where they are in Montana.
There are many places to observe birds in Montana, from what I understand, the term is called "Birding" or more commonly called "birdwatching" and according to Wikipedia is the observing of birds, either as a recreational activity or as a form of citizen science. A birdwatcher may observe by using their naked eye, by using a visual enhancement device like binoculars or a telescope, by listening for bird sounds, or by watching public webcams.
This pertains mostly to recreational watching of birds as a form of socializing which is amazing for metal health and learning.

They have a mission to promote knowledge, appreciation, and conservation of Montana native birds.
