Climate Watch

Volunteers complete winter and/or summer surveys for target species to collect data that will help us understand how birds are responding to climate change. A project with National Audubon.

Screech-owls

These nocturnal cavity nesting owls depend on old growth trees in riparian areas, and we need your help looking for these birds throughout the state to assess their conservation needs.

Long-billed Curlew

We’re working with many partners to learn more about Long-billed Curlews to protect the grasslands and agricultural lands they need for breeding.

Chimney Swift

Montana Audubon is partnering with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks throughout eastern Montana to discover where Chimney Swifts are active and breeding; often in towns and near buildings with large chimneys.
