Montana boasts the largest number of breeding owl species of any state, from the massive great horned owl to the miniature pygmy owl.  Join Denver Holt, a celebrated owl expert, to learn about the habitats, adaptations for silent flight, hunting, breeding, and the life histories of these impressive creatures.  Our field excursions will involve short hikes through level, but brushy, terrain into owl habitat to investigate snags and look for nests. Bring a sack lunch for the first day. Several lodging options are available in the St. Ignatius area including The Sunset Motel (406) 745-3900 and The Lodge Pole Motel (406) 745-295.
