Rock Creek Confluence - East Side (map)

For anyone looking to get up close and personal with our local feathered friends, look no further than our Rock Creek Confluence this summer! We've partnered with the University of Montana's Bird Ecology Lab to have a bird banding station at the Confluence for a 10th year of science, community engagement and fun. Banding dates are open to the public - no RSVP required. Check out this year's dates and learn more.
