Fall ecology and birding class set for Oct. 15
Project ASCENT is holding a fall birding and ecology class Saturday, Oct. 15.
Fall is a time of changes, when plants and animals start to prepare for the long winter months ahead.
From September to November, some birds of prey known as raptors, and other birds, travel due to scarcity of food during winter.
Join Project ASCENT's local ecologists for an interesting field day on Saturday, Oct. 15. The day will include searching for and studying birds, mammals and vegetation and their adaptations to prepare for winter.
The meeting time is 9 a.m., Mountain Standard Time, in the Viking Room of the Venture Inn at 1015 U.S. 2 in Libby, Montana.
Participants are asked to come prepared with full gas tanks, proper clothing, footwear, bird guide books, binoculars, cameras, water and lunch.
Wrap up will be about 3 p.m.
Participants must register to attend. For more info and to register, call 406-291-2154, or email b_baxter53@yahoo.com. This is an adult class for folks 18 and over. No pets please. Instructors are college educated with decades of field experience.
