2025 Citizen Science Reports Now Available

This year, Montana Audubon organized three Citizen Science surveys: a new pilot project surveying for Nightjars; the second year of surveys for Western and Eastern Screech-owls; and the continuation of the long-running Long-billed Curlew Initiative, now in its 13th year.

Across all three projects, a total of 221 citizen scientist volunteers conducted a total of 167 survey rotes, covering an estimated 1,287 miles! In total, 1,713 detections of target species were made, contributing to species conservation status and conservation action plans for these species.

Thank you to everyone who was involved with our Citizen Science surveys this year! These efforts would not have been possible without the dedication of volunteers, and we are grateful that so many joined us in looking for these birds in need.

These projects would not be possible without all of our sponsors and partner organizations, including Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, Montana Natural Heritage Program, Tracy Aviary, L.E.A.W Family Foundation, Blackfoot Challenge, and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.
