Feature Article on Our Audubon Bird-Friendly Certification

Last month, Christian Meny and Peter Dudley from Montana Audubon came to the ranch to conduct their annual bird survey.

The writer Isabel Hicks joined them, and she wrote a great feature article in the Montana Free Press.

Here is a link to the article.

We are still waiting for the official results of the survey, but around 50 different species of birds were identified on the ranch that morning, including multiple species that the State of Montana classifies as Species of Concern.

As Isabel writes in the article, “In the last 50 years, grassland bird populations have been cut in half, driven by the development and conversion of open range to tilled cropland . . . That’s why Audubon is recognizing how ranching can improve ecosystem health.”

We love birds. We love that our ranch provides critical habitat for declining grassland birds. And we love working with Montana Audubon.

Win. Win. Win!
