GENERAL RULES-OF-THUMB FOR BIRD-WATCHING HABITATS: • Aspen groves are an excellent habitat for a variety of birds. Aspen generally grow in large stands and provide excellent foraging for insect-gleaning songbirds such as the Warbling Vireo and the Western Tanager. • Woodpeckers take advantage of older aspens whose trunks are often weakened by heart rot. Look for secondary cavity nesters in old woodpecker holes. Recently burned forests support woodpeckers (northern threetoed and black-backed). • Pure stands of lodgepole pine have a low diversity of bird species. Instead, look for a mix (Lodgepole, Douglas fir & Engelmann spruce) to find Clark's Nutcracker, Gray Jay, Red-breasted Nuthatch. Plus, seed-eating specialties such as Pine Grosbeak, Cassin's Finch and Pine Siskin • Streams, rivers, ponds and lakes attract a great variety. • Willows and Cottonwoods trees next to these aquatic areas offer nest sites for songbirds. • Where roads cross meadows, stop to check surrounding trees for a Great Gray Owl, Sandhill Cranes or Mountain Bluebird. • In sagebrush areas, look for Sage Thrasher and Brewer’s Sparrow.

• Dress for success! Layers is a general rule in Montana. Snowmobile suits will keep you warm up to 60 degrees below zero. Protect extremities with boots, gloves and a hat designed for extreme cold.

• Modify exposure settings. Camera meters are designed to reproduce whatever they read as a mid tone. Remember, snow reflects about 90% of the available light no matter if it's sunny or cloudy. You need to compensate for this brilliance. Properly exposing scenes on an overcast day where snow is the dominant subject is the easiest situation. The trick is to meter only the snow. Find a patch of white snow that will fill the entire viewfinder. Just meter only the snow and then compensate for the reflectance of the snow by adding two stops of light. If the primary focus is an animal and not a snowy scene, increase to 2 1/3 stops. This will ensure that you can capture the detail in the darker animal. Sunny wintry days also require adjustment. If the sun is direct with a slight glare backlighting), meter the sunlit snow but add a full +2 stops of light. When the sun is coming from behind or from the side, meter only the sunlit snow and add 1 2/3 stops of light. When photographing dark animals on a sunny day, add 2 stops of light.

• Change your view. Don't just look over the landscape - but look down an up once in awhile. Bright sun or bright overcast are the best lighting conditions for birds and mammals. If the sun is shining, photograph them against the blue sky. If conditions are bright overcast, avoid the gray sky by composing so your visitors are against the out-of-focus trees in the background. But, our favorite conditions are bright overcast on a very snowy day. Bright sunny days often produce “sun dawgsâ€? where the sun streams through snowy tree’s produces its own special halo effect. Make sure to shoot from the shaded side underneath the tree and shoot directly at the sun.
