Flathead Audubon will offer another opportunity to view spring bird arrivals in the Smith Lake area on Saturday, May 18, from 8 a.m. until noon. Join us for a spring morning of birding west of Kalispell. The group will drive the Smith Lake Road looking for recently arrived sparrows, orioles, warblers and other breeding migrants. They will proceed to Smith Lake to look for waterfowl and other wetland species. There should be a good diversity of habitats and birds. This is primarily a driving trip with several stops to get out and bird. Bring binoculars and scopes and appropriate weather gear.
