Missoula’s bike paths are like freeways for bicycle commuters. Anywhere in Missoula you can get by car, you can probably get to faster on a bike. As luck would have it, a huge section of the bike paths run alongside Clark River, attracting lots of birds.
I had access to a beach cruiser with a perfect little binocular and camera basket in the front during my stay in Missoula. I quickly formed an afternoon ritual where I’d birdwatch after work, then hit a local coffeeshop for a coffee and sandwich.
Three of my favorite photos are included below: a handsome Cedar Waxwing, happy Yellow Warbler, and surprise female Evening Grosbeak.
