"Birding Hotspots in the Flathead Basin"
which (in spite of the Flathead Basin name) includes Northwest Montana. It mentions bluebirds and other species. It also contains a good list of birds to be found and season and abundance. Click here for the document .
"Field Checklist of Montana Birds"
is coming soon. The free checklist will be available by early May at all FWP regional offices and the Helena headquarters. Those who can't wait for the printed copies you can download the checklist by clicking here to view the 2004 bird list as an Acrobat pdf file. For best results in printing your own copy, use legal size paper (8 ˝ x 14 inches) and change your printer settings to print it in landscape view.
• The Mountain Bluebird Trails areas are now being defined by county rather than number. The board made this decision at the September board to clarify it for the members. See Regional Coordinators listing under contacts on this website and/or the December 2003 issue of Bluebird Tales.
* MBT has created a speakers bureau to put on programs in Montana and southern Idaho . If you would like a program in your area contact one of the volunteers on the Speakers Bureau .
