Birds of Montana

There are many birds in America and each state has a state bird. The Meadowlark is Montana's state bird and if you are ever lucky enough to hear one its music is one of the prettiest sounds in the world. The Night Hawk in Montana sounds like a bear growling, but it is just a bird out catching insects with its massive beak. When it dives down the air flows into its mouth creating a growling sound. A Bald Eagle is very big and majestic, but a Golden Eagle or Thunder Bird is the size of two Bald Eagles put together. Having one fly over your head is a little bit unsettling.
