SUMMARY:Kootenai Creek and Canyon Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Kootenai Creek and Canyon\, June 1\, 2025 at 8:30AM to 11:30AM \nRobert Petty will lead a morning field trip along Kootenai Creek and Canyon. We’ll explore the riparian habitat near the mouth of the canyon that has a mixture of cottonwood\, alder\, aspen\, larch and ponderosa pine. Then we’ll take a walk up the trail into the canyon. \nSome of the species we may see include MacGillivray’s Warbler\, Western Tanager\, Western Flycatcher\, Pacific Wren\, Canyon Wren\, and American Dipper. There is an active Peregrine aerie up the canyon\, so there is chance we may see falcons. \nDue to the narrowness of the trail\, there is a group limit of 10 people for this trip. Call or text Robert Petty at 406-777-0780 to sign up and receive more information.

SUMMARY:Ruffatto Ranch River Walk + additional option
DESCRIPTION:June 5\, 2025 \n7:30 AM to 10:30 AM \nSherry Ritter will lead a morning field trip in cottonwood/ponderosa pine riparian habitat on the Ruffatto Block Management Area. This is an easy round-trip walk of approximately 1.5 miles. Some of the species we might see include Bank Swallows\, Northern Waterthrushes\, Red-eyed Vireos\, Gray Catbirds\, Willow Flycatchers\, nuthatches\, beaver\, and porcupines. If there is time afterwards\, we’ll also visit the nearby Bass Creek Fishing Access area and walk another 1-mile round trip overlooking a backwater area of the Bitterroot. This is a narrower trail so not as easy as at Ruffatto’s. There are no restrooms at these locations. There’s a group limit of 10 people. Call or text Sherry Ritter at 406-370-4778 to sign up and to provide an email for more details.

SUMMARY:Browns Lake Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Browns Lake Field Trip\, June 7\, 2025 at 7:30 AM to ~5:00 PM:  \nJoin Alex Kearney for an all-day field trip to Browns Lake near Ovando (about 90 miles from Stevensville) during peak spring when all the birds are actively singing or otherwise involved in the breeding season. We’ll meet at 7:30 at the Stevensville Super 1 parking lot to coordinate carpooling. From there we’ll make several stops at natural areas along the way and could see about 45-60 species in the various habitats we’ll be passing through. The trip is open to all people of all abilities; you don’t even need binoculars. Let us know and the Bitterroot Bird Alliance can provide a loaner. Call Alex (406-360-2345) to let him know you’re coming and for any questions you might have.
