Bridger Bowl Raptor Festival

On October 6th, we traveled to Livingston for Preston's last soccer game. A cold and windy one. We were told about the "Raptor Festival" at Bridger Bowl.  The festival, which is free to the public, centers around a raptor migration count of the largest known Golden Eagle migration in the United States which takes place at the Bridger Bowl ski area in the Gallatin National Forest just north of Bozeman. We didn't get to see the migration, but we just took a walk on the ski hill that we usually ski down...without any snow (for a while)! It was very cold up there, so we were all in our down jackets. :) There were lots of people and we got to see a couple of birds...

On our way to Livingston...fresh snowy mountaintops.
