Bird watching can fill your days with a sense of wonder and the excitement of discovery. Central Montana has a diverse landscape that is home to many bird species, so opportunities abound to add new birds to life lists. Consider Brewery Flats Trail: Any summer evening, stroll the trail that parallels Big Spring Creek.


Gurgling water blends with the chattering of a Belted Kingfisher. A secretive Grey Catbird may be spotted in the chokecherry bushes, or an American Goldfinch may be seen clinging to a stalk of grass. An American Dipper might be wading along the edge of the creek, or you may spot a Common Merganser diving into the water for fish.
