This should be near the peak time for migrating waterfowl, grebes, and loons.  Ennis Lake is one of the premiere staging areas for migrating waterfowl in southwestern Montana.  Thousands of ducks can be spread across the lake on any given day.  As is typical with high concentrations of birds, there should be a wide variety of waterfowl and the possibility of a rarity being found.   Bring a lunch and other essentials as we’ll be out until mid to late afternoon.  Also, remember to bring plenty of warm clothes as it could be cold and windy at the lake. If you have a spotting scope, please bring it for scanning the lake.  Limit 12 people or 5 vehicles.  For more information and to make reservations, contact George or Valerie.
