Presented By Gary Swant
Gary Swant will be the featured speaker at the Monday, Oct. 9 meeting of the Flathead Audubon Society at 7pm. In 1993, Gary set a goal of birding all seven continents. In 2022, he achieved that goal while visiting 37 countries and territories. His presentation features his favorite birds on each continent, and his favorite countries to bird, along with other interesting tidbits and stories about his many birding endeavors.
Gary is a top-notch birder and a prolific author. He currently holds the record for seeing the most birds in Montana (382 species). He writes a monthly column for four Montana weekly newspapers and last year published a birding book, “My Montana Birds”.
Gary is also founder of GoBird Montana, which does public bird walks, guided tours and field research for organizations such as Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, Montana Department of Environmental Quality and others. He also currently serves as vice-chair for the Berkeley Pit Mitigation Council.
For those coming to the meeting, on October 9th, we’ll meet in Room 26 of the Gateway Mall (United Way building) at 7 PM. This room is on the east side of the building along Glenwood Rd in Kalispell. Look for our banner hanging outside.
For those joining virtually, check your Pileated Post for the link or email us at info@flatheadaudubon.org for the link. You should eventually be let into a “waiting room” where you will then be added to the meeting by the host. Please sign in with your name when you enter the room so we know to admit you. You will be muted when you first join the meeting. You can use your computer’s microphone and speakers (most computers have both, whether you see them or not), and this is the preferred way to join.
