This tour will explore a diversity of habitats, ranging from high-elevation wetland and prairie habitats at 6,600 feet to the forests of the Centennial Mountains.

Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge is in the incredibly scenic and isolated Centennial Valley of southwestern Montana, 60 miles west of Yellowstone National Park. This 3-day, 2-night tour will include a vast array of habitats, ranging from high-elevation wetland and prairie habitats at 6,600 feet, to the dense aspen & conifer forests of the adjacent Centennial Mountains, which ascend to over 10,000 ft. in elevation. This diverse, wetland-prairie-sagebrush-montane environment gives Red Rock Lakes its unique character. Nesting wetland and prairie birds are abundant throughout Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge at this time of year, with 120+ species possible.

 

Red Rock Lakes is best known as the primary location for heroic efforts in the 1930’s to save the Trumpeter Swan from regional extirpation. In addition to this majestic swan, another 230 bird species have been identified within the refuge, including: Long-billed Curlew, Sandhill Crane, Red-necked Grebe, Black-crowned Night-Heron, American White Pelican, Sora, White-faced Ibis, American Avocet, Willet, Northern Harrier, Bald & Golden Eagles, Swainson’s & Ferruginous Hawks, Prairie & Peregrine Falcons, Short-eared Owl, Sage Thrasher, Brewer’s Sparrow,  numerous duck species, flycatchers, kinglets, warblers, vireos, tanagers, thrushes, woodpeckers and, if we’re lucky, even Greater Sage-Grouse! Moose, Pronghorn, Mule Deer, Coyote, Red Fox are likely. Gray Wolf and Grizzly Bear are possible!
