New on Montana eBird: Explore Lake Helena IBA
Posted on July 11, 2024
When the summer heat keeps us indoors and away from our favorite birding locations, there are many ways to experience Montana’s nature from the comfort of home.
Shane Sater, a bilingual field biologist and naturalist, shares the sights and sounds of bird life at Lake Helena in a recent episode of his podcast, Wild With Nature. Shane explores Lake Helena by kayak, observing shorebirds, waterfowl, warblers, and more as he paddles the Important Bird Area, the largest under-developed marsh and wetland site in the Helena Valley.
Listen to the podcast, and learn more about the Lake Helena IBA, on the Montana eBird site:
