Camping, Curlews and Cougars in Montana

Spring is upon us once again, and the prairie is blooming with new life. I spent a week on the Reserve http://www.americanprairie.org/ with my wife Kayla in late April and everywhere we turned we saw signs of a thriving landscape. There are more prairie dogs than we’ve ever seen before and the Reserve’s Sharp-tailed and Greater Sage Grouse leks are brimming with activity. We also spent some time talking with a few Reserve visitors who had come to enjoy the spectacle of hundreds of grassland birds returning to the prairie. It’s truly rewarding to see people of all ages turning out to enjoy the Reserve and I hope you’ll plan to visit this summer. If you’d like a visitor’s map or information about our campground, please send us a note or give us a call and we’d be happy to send you information to help you plan your visit. – Sean Gerrity
