10,000 Birds

Russell National Wildlife Refuge , more than a million acres of prairie, badlands, coulees, and the massive Fort Peck Reservoir on the Missouri River.

Winter Wanderland

10,000 Birds

Our internet research showed that somebody in Pine County had all three ( Black, Brown-capped, and Gray-crowned ) Rosy Finches on the feeders in their garden. We also saw Prairie Dogs , Bison , Mule Deer , Abert’s Squirrel and Coyote. This is a simple grey and black bird but I have always wanted to see one.
