About

Sacajawea Audubon Society (SAS) has accomplished a large number of achievements in support of their mission in 2018. What follows is only a partial list -1. At the top of the list was acquiring the East Main Wetlands within the city limits of Bozeman, MT through a charitable donation. This 27.174 acre wetland, once restored, will represent the largest urban wetland in Montana. 2. Other conservation projects include the continued funding and management of the Bridger Mountains Raptor Survey at Bridger Bowl. This is a fall count of migrating raptors along the Bridger Ridge and represented the 28th season of the count.3. SAS kicked off its Bird-friendly Landscaping project by creating and distributing a Bird-friendly Landscaping for SW Montana brochure. 4. SAS volunteers collected and disposed of over 2,000lbs of burdock from local trails in Bozeman. Burdock is an invasive weed whose burs catch small songbirds and bats, causing a slow death.5. SAS continued both the Mountain Bluebird Nest Box and Kestrel Nest Box projects. Volunteers maintain, monitor nest boxes, and also band birds. The bluebird project was started in 1969 and now encompasses over 300 nest boxes. The kestrel project has over 70 nest boxes on private land in Gallatin and Park counties. Kestrel populations have decreased by over half in recent years, and the project hopes to build kestrel populations locally by providing nesting locations. 6. SAS created and hosted the World Migratory Bird Day Festival in May. It was held at the Bozeman Public Library and featured many fun and educational activities for children and their families. It was attended by over 1,000 people. In addition, there was a film festival held at two locations, featuring family-friendly films highlighting bird migration. 7. SAS cohosted the annual Bridger Raptor Festival at Bridger Bowl in October. SAS is the educational partner of the festival and provided several fun and educational activities for children and their families.8. SAS provided many Bird ID classes, field trips, bird walks, and monthly programs to the community. The field trips, bird walks and programs are free to the public. 9. SAS created a pilot program called Watch At Home, which provides bird feeders at local nursing facilities. Currently, we have one care facility where we have installed feeders & bird baths, and have a volunteer that comes once a week for a bird chat.
