Freezout Lake, MT

I made the amazing journey this past weekend to Freezout Lake Wildlife Management Area, near Choteau, MT with my friend, Cody, to watch the spring waterfowl migration. The shortgrass prairie marsh habitats bring in close to 220 different species of birds. In March, an abundance of Snow Geese and Ross's Geese land on the melting areas of the lakes and ponds. In complete awe, we watched flocks of birds flying in and out of the area all day. I'm still wrapping my mind around the 50,000 birds we saw and am humbled by the beauty of birds.

Subtlety of Swans

Fully enjoyed my outing today catching flighty swans in and out of DePuys spring creek.

Signs

On the drive back from Big Sky, I saw signs of winter. And some other random things...

The Morning Raven

Spent the weekend up at Big Sky surrounded by skiers and looting ravens. This one perched on the deck at breakfast. In tune with my knack for bad timing, I caught this beauty flying off...

Focus on Spring

I took a drive in this spring-like weather today and found myself focusing on this fence on a nowhere road.

Lightness of Feathers

Hazel

Such a good ole dog.
