Denver Holt, world-renowned owl and bird of prey expert and founder of the Owl Research Institute, and Laura Katzman of Flathead Land Trust will lead a tour of the wintering birds of prey in the Mission Valley on Saturday, February 1. The Owl Research Institute monitors raptors each winter in the Mission Valley with monthly surveys. The tour route will be based on those surveys and will include lands that are important to wintering birds of prey that are in the process of being conserved. Last year on a similar tour participants saw rough-legged hawks, red-tailed hawks, northern harrier, bald eagles, and American kestrel as well as other birds. Group size is limited and carpooling will be required. To sign up please e-mail: lkatzman@flatheadlandtrust.org.
