New on Montana eBird: Lake Helena IBA, part 3

The final installment of a series exploring Lake Helena, this podcast episode by field biologist and naturalist Shane Sater captures the beauty of migration and the rhythms of nature at one of Montana’s Important Bird Areas. Encounter diverse shorebird species like Baird’s Sandpipers on their 9,000-mile trek, and reflect on the importance of wetlands for both birds and people. From Sandhill Cranes greeting a scarlet sunrise to the haunting calls of Canada Geese, this story is a tribute to the fleeting yet profound moments found in the wild.
