The bears are out and about again and making the news! They have been roaming around the valley killing chickens on Foothill Road, and taking cover from border collies in a basement in Choteau. While on a recent outing to the Sun Road, Grandpa Davey captured some great video of a black bear, which […]
Before taking M & E to their shooting match last Saturday, David joked about passing in front of Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Parks. Hunters would be there protesting federal wolf management. In jest, he suggested we be cautious and roll up our windows against these supposed angry people. The protection of wolves has […]
Living in metropolitan New Orleans I didn’t think much about grizzlies, wolves, or elk. My family and I lived the typical suburban lifestyle, more concerned with how the local sheriff would keep criminals out of the “parish” than what the wildlife were doing. Here in NW Montana, where crime is petty and almost non-existent, […]
When the inversions lift, it’s time to take advantage of the sunshine. Sunday’s single digit temperatures and blue skies presented the perfect opportunity to do some ice skating on Foy’s Lake. One of our favorite ways to chase away the winter doldrums is ice skating. What’s yours?
After an overnight snowstorm, we decided to experience the deep snow in our neighborhood by walking to the store. After walking five blocks, I realized how difficult it was to walk in the snow. The fluffy white stuff seemed like weights on my legs. I began to feel tired and the store was […]
I must admit the thought of drilling a hole into a frozen lake and waiting to catch a bunch of little perch didn’t appeal to me until he started coming home with some nice sized Northern Pike. Unlike perch which I think aren’t worth cleaning, the pike are large enough to fillet and make a […]
We were no more than 10 minutes from home visiting a bird sanctuary with our homeschool nature journal group. It was a damp, dreary, autumn day and only 4 mothers with their children had shown up. Even though close to home, it was my first time in the Sowerwine. The group followed […]
My mom has always been a fan of the natural wonders we are blessed to see. Back when we lived in Louisiana, often she would say, “I want to move out west to see the sunsets.” And so she did. Although I usually roll my eyes or tease when she gushes over sunsets, some […]
This is a 30 second video taken on August 25, 2005 on the Scenic Point Trail as referred to in my article, The Otters Return to Glacier. M was 8 years old, and E was 7. The wind was blowing from the Plains so hard that it was kind of scary thinking they would be […]
By M Before Rocky Mountain Kids Korner went online, Glacier National Park was essentially a retired baby boomer paradise. It was unlikely to see people under 45, and even more unlikely to see a child. On the trails, we saw numerous 50+ patrons of the park, but we seldom saw young adults and kids! […]
