THE MISSION OF THE SACAJAWEA AUDUBON SOCIETY IS TO BUILD ON AN INTEREST IN BIRDS, AND TO PROMOTE THE CONSERVATION OF OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT THROUGH ENJOYMENT, EDUCATION AND ACTION.
Sacajawea Audubon Society (SAS) has accomplished many achievements in support of their mission in 2019. What follows is only a partial list - Our Bird-Friendly Landscape Committee was busy this spring and summer, giving 6 presentations, including HOPA Mountain Human Rights Day, the Emerson Garden Tour, Wild Birds Unlimited-Bozeman, and the Zucchini Festival at Cashman Nursery. Sacajawea Audubon and the local chapter of the Montana Native Plant Society co-hosted a bird-friendly garden tour that was very popular. We installed a bird-feeding station at Story Mill Community Park in Bozeman. It features a bear-proof feeder pole and several seed and suet feeders. Audubon volunteers maintain the feeders each week, year-round. The feeding station has been a big hit for the park visitors. They can sit in the bird blind and watch quietly or take photographs. We have installed 6 monofilament fishing line recycling tubes at popular fishing access sites. These will encourage proper disposal of fishing line and will be maintained by volunteers. Our chapter has now acquired 32 acres of degraded wetland within the Bozeman city limits. We are in the planning stages of restoring it to a high-functioning wetland. In 2019, we initiated weekly bird surveys to establish a baseline data as we begin our restoration of the wetland. We also initiated weekly bird walks for the community where participants could not only see the birds on the property, but learn about how wetlands work, and our chapters plans for restoration. We continued to provide educational activities at the annual Bridger Raptor Festival in October. Over 4,000 people attended the annual free event, which is centered around the fall migration of raptors along the Bridger Mountain Range.
