The migrating birds are all around with the official start of spring only days away. Bob Danley of the Bitterroot Outdoor Journal noted an increase of species in Ravalli County - 113 at last count. They include turkey vultures, snow geese, greater white-fronted goose, sandhill crane, ring-billed gull and both tundra and trumpeter swans (photo above). The best place to catch a glimpse is the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge ponds next to the refuge office. Just sit in your car and enjoy the arrivals and departures.
Bob saw some Eurasian Wigeons near Missoula. The duck-sized birds are from Asia and have only been seen in Montana since the 1980s. The male has a dark rufous head color with a creamy forehead and gray body (photo below).
