Snow Geese At Freezout Can Be Spectacular
This is the month for a unique Montana nature event - the yearly migration of snow geese at Freezout Lake southwest of Great Falls. Those who have seen the "liftoff" of thousands of the migrating birds never forget it. But the actual days of the migration vary from year to year.
The Freezout Lake Wildlife Management Area is managed by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. They used to have a a recorded telephone line to let people know the status of the migrations of several species of birds, including the snow geese. Now they have a website that has the information you need before you hop in the car and head on over.
