Great Falls Park & Recreation staff will be rounding up the waterfowl in Gibson Park on Friday, October 19th.

The annual event is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m.

The domestic waterfowl will be moved to “The Honker Hilton,” their winter quarters, located at the north end of Gibson Park.

The birds are kept inside during the winter for their own safety since many have clipped wings. Inside, they enjoy an indoor pond and are fed daily.

The birds will be returned to the pond in April.

Public schools in Great Falls are not in session on Friday, so people are encouraged to bring the entire family to the roundup.

For more information, call the Park & Recreation office at 406-771-1265.
