Birding by Ear

Experience the rich birdlife of Glacier National Park while exploring a landscape that provides habitat for hundreds of bird species. This guided program invites participants to venture through forests, wetlands, and river corridors while learning from an experienced birder with deep knowledge of the region’s avian ecology. As participants travel through diverse environments, they will discover how birds thrive in these natural habitats and how each ecosystem supports unique species and behaviors.

Discover the art of birding through observation, listening, and field identification across varied landscapes within the park. Participants will learn how to recognize bird calls, identify species by sight and sound, and understand the ecological relationships that shape bird populations. Moving through old-growth forests, burned habitats, wet meadows, and cascading streams, the experience reveals how Glacier’s diverse terrain supports both common and uncommon birds of the eastern and western watersheds.
