SUMMARY:Monthly Program: Black Swifts in Montana
DESCRIPTION:Black Swifts in Montana: One of Our Most Fascinating and Mysterious Species  \nMontana Audubon Avian Specialist Bo Crees has studied Black Swifts in Montana and Idaho for the past 6 years. Bo will share the unique life history of this remarkable species along with interesting highlights\, joys\, and challenges of searching for one of Montana’s most elusive and vulnerable species in remote\, hard-to-access areas. \nDid you know that some of our Black Swifts fly continuously\, without EVER landing\, for more than 9 months?  \nOr\, that even though adults weigh about the same as a golf ball\, their incubation period is longer than that of Red-tailed Hawks\, and that Black Swift nestlings take longer to fledge than some Golden Eagles? \nPlease join us on November 17 to learn more about these fascinating\, unusual birds! \nPlease register by 3 pm on the day of the meeting:  \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/PFRETOGwTXCoS4edPxXcsw  \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nBoaz (Bo) Crees discovered the wonders of birds and birding in his early 20s and was hired as a biological technician on his first bird research project in 2005\, while studying wildlife biology at the University of Montana. Bo has been involved in many bird and wildlife research projects over the past 20 years\, and has studied birds in Mexico\, Canada\, and all but two western U.S. states. In 2016 Bo and his wife\, Alexis\, moved to Helena after living in northern British Columbia for several years\, and have lived in Montana ever since. Bo is an Avian Specialist for Montana Audubon and the Montana Natural Heritage Program\, working in the field in spring and summer\, and processing data the rest of the year. In his free time Bo enjoys birding\, hiking\, creating wildlife art\, and collecting and processing rocks and minerals.
