Along the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, on the south side of Glacier National Park, is a favorite spot for locals to view wildlife because it is easily accessible. A number of waterfowl can be seen throughout the area. The Flathead River system and north shore of Flathead Lake are popular areas for bird watchers. Animal watchers are also reminded animals should never be fed or harassed. Wildlife, especially a female protecting her young, can be unpredictable and deceiving, Vanderbilt cautioned.
Rangers patrol popular areas.
Injured animals should be left alone and in the woods notify a game warden of the animal's location.
