WILDLIFE WATCHING -- Changes could be in store for one of the region's top wildlife-watching and wildlife photography areas as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to return the bulk of the management of the National Bison Range in Montana to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. 

The agency is taking public comment on the proposal through Sept. 4.
