The nearby Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge (194 Bowdoin Auto Tour Rd., 7 miles
east of Malta off Old U.S. 2, 406/654-2863, www.bowdoin.fws.gov ) was established as a
migratory bird refuge in 1936. Both saline and freshwater wetlands offer ideal habitat for
the thousands of birds—from waterfowl and shorebirds to birds of prey and grassland song-
birds—that soar along this flyway. A 15-mile self-guided auto tour route brings visitors
face-to-face with much of the region's wildlife. Fishing and hunting in the refuge is strictly
regulated and should be coordinated through the refuge office during business hours.
The Montana skyline is often punctuated by weathered agricultural buildings.
Two other impressive swaths of wildlife-rich land include the vast Charles M. Russell
National Wildlife Refuge and the much newer American Prairie Reserve, which may even-
tually top three million acres.
