Montana Audubon, in conjunction with Yellowstone Valley Audubon Society, will hold our annual bird festival in Billings June 6 - 8 at Rocky Mountain College.

Field trips to surrounding areas will include various parks along the Yellowstone River, Pryor Mountains, Pompey's Pillar, Yellowstone River, Audubon's Conservation Education Center, and more. Children are welcome and encouraged to participate (binoculars and guide books provided). Other workshops, such as Beginning Birding, will be offered.
