Each spring, Makoshika State Park celebrates the return of the turkey vulture to eastern Montana with Buzzard Day, a tongue-in-cheek day of appreciation for one of 'nature's cleaners'. Makoshika's badlands topography provides excellent habitat for Turkey Vultures, a species of concern because of its breeding requirements and its position in the food chain (carrion eaters ingest toxins carried throughout the entire food chain). Buzzard Day has events for all age groups, including a pancake breakfast, nature walks, an 8K Buzzard Run, festival games and food. Each year, new events are added. Admission is free.

For additional information, contact Makoshika State Park, PO Box 1242, Glendive, MT 59330, 406-377-6256 or email to makoshika@state.mt.us.

Directions: Buzzard Days is held at Makoshika State Park. Take I-94 Glendive Exits and follow signs two to three miles through town to Makoshika State Park, which is adjacent to the southeast city limits.
