Long-Billed Curlew

Despite COVID-19, our critical bird research will continue because birding happens to be the perfect spatial distancing activity! We encourage surveys to be done individually or within your close networks but keeping 6 ft apart.
This includes our Long-Billed Curlew survey that occurs in the Mission, Blackfoot, and Helena Valleys. This is a great source of outdoor recreation! Please contact us for any questions about our response.

The Long-billed Curlew is an icon of the American prairie and inter-mountain grassland basins. It is a relatively large, conspicuous shorebird found in short to moderate height prairie. The Montana Bird Conservation Partnership (MBCP) has identified the Curlew as a flagship species, or one that is likely to resonate with the public and thus garner support for conservation action. It is declining across its range, but in Montana, healthy populations remain. We’re working with many partners to learn more about Curlews to protect the grasslands and agricultural lands they need for breeding. Check out the routes available, sign up for a route, download the protocol and data forms, and have fun with these roadside surveys. 
Surveys should be completed- April 8 - May 7 and  May 8 - May 31.
