Tales From the Field: MT Birding & Citizen Science Description:
Have you ever wondered how to find current, accessible information about Montana birds, or felt inspired to be involved in a project that collects data about birds and their habitat? Learn how Montana bird monitoring and conservation efforts have matured over the past 3 decades from Dan Casey. Dan will provide examples and anecdotes of this growth, drawing from his experiences including joint ventures, Christmas Bird Counts (CBCs), Jewel Basin Hawk Watch, and eBird. Enjoy Dan's photos of Montana's birds and habitats, and get inspired to play a personal role in "citizen science" birding to help advance bird conservation.

Dan Casey has been a fixture in Montana's birding community for nearly 35 years. He was the primary author of the 2000 Montana Bird Conservation Plan, and received Montana Audubon's Conservationist of the Year Award in 2006. He served 25 years as regional editor for Montana CBCs, He is a member and past Chair of the Montana Bird Records Committee, a moderator of the Montana's Online Birding Group (MOB) Yahoo site, regional eBird reviewer, and co-author of the upcoming "Birds of Montana" book. He currently is based in Billings as the Coordinator of the Northern Great Plains Joint Venture for Ducks Unlimited.
