Local Birdwatchers
Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. | ||||||

| I'm a retired wildlife biologist. I spent most of my federal career managing waterfowl, and prairie wildlife with an emphasis on birds. I'm an avid photographer and love to photograph birds and wildlife. The Gallatin River Valley and surrounding mountains have a wide diversity of bird species. | ||||||

| I reside in Rock Creek Montana - a fly fisherperson's and birdwatcher's paradise. Species vary by season but include many song birds, raptors, waterfowl, woodpeckers, wild turkeys etc. Among my favorites to view are Kingfishers, Eagles, Falcons, Ospreys, Blue Herons and Stellar Jays. One of the pleasant suprises this past spring was a Pileated Woodpecker a very remerable echo throughout the forest of pecking sound on the trees. | ||||||

| Birding opportunites abound at Triple Creek Ranch in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley. From aquatic migratory birds in our many rivers, lakes and ponds to alpine species at home on towering mountain tops. Triple Creek Ranch has access to over 300 varieties of birds. Look for dramatic birds of prey, graceful ducks, geese and swans, charming finches and woodpeckers and dancing cranes. Take a bird walk with one of our staff birders, view birds from horseback or create your own birding adventure with the help of our regional maps. Either way, end your day with a beautifully prepared gourmet meal and quiet night in one of our luxurious cabins. | ||||||
