Description:
The theme for the Last Chance Audubon March Natural History Lecture series is: Wildfire in Montana: Its History, Science, and Impact on Habitat. Programs begin at 7:00 pm, the first four Mondays of March and are held at Montana WILD, 2668 Broadwater Ave. Arrive early for the best seat. Carpooling is recommended.
The March 19 topic – Birds and Fire. Kristina Smucker will take us on a virtual tour through burned forests to discover how the bird community changes following restorative wildfires. Birds are amazing for many reasons, one of which is the diversity of habitat niches they have laid claim to, including burned forests. Many bird species depend on high severity wildfires, like those Montana experienced last summer, to create the habitat and food resources they need to survive. Kristina Smuker is a wildlife biologist for Montana FWP Great Falls and has extensively studied the impact of wildfires on bird habitat.
