Montana Audubon Annual Festival - David Sibley!

Each year, Montana Audubon sponsors a birding festival at a different city/town in MT. This year's festival is shaping up to be one of the best ever - with a tremendous variety and scope of birding field trips to choose from. The festival will be on June 5-7 at the Holiday Inn in Gt. Falls and will be co-hosted by the Upper Missouri River Audubon Society. As a very special treat, David Sibley will be the guest speaker at the luncheon on Saturday. His is a renowned artist and the author of a number of birding books, including the very popular "The Sibley Guide to Birds". Registration for this event is available thru the Montana Audubon Web site.

The weekend following the Montana Audubon Festival, Mountain Bluebird Trails of Montana will be celebrating their 35th Anniversary, also in Gt. Falls. They also have an excellent program lineup with speakers from around the country - including one of my favorite bloggers Julie Zickefoose and her husband Bill Thompson, III, editor of Bird Watcher's Digest.

Both of these events will provide a great opportunity to participate in great field trips and meet some of the "Movers and Shakers" in the world of Birding! Plan to attend!!
