Greetings this request is posted with permission.
I am writing to make you aware of an exciting new crowdfunding campaign that will raise needed dollars to study the movement ecology of the Black Swift.
At Bird Conservancy, we are proud to have partnered with the US Forest Service and other collaborators to begin to unravel the mystery. Thanks to collaborative research efforts, we are starting to understand more about where Black Swifts breed and overwinter. Our collective research effort with geolocators led to the first documented migratory path and wintering area for this species - the Amazon Basin of Brazil. As a result it was recognized, for the first time ever, on Brazil's ornithological register in 2014.
With your support, we will learn even more. In the coming year we will outfit Black Swifts with GPS pinpoint tags that will allow us to better understand their movement all year long. We will attempt to answer how far they forage, pin point precise migration path(s) as well as wintering areas, and determine whether they sleep on the wing during the winter.
Please follow the link to learn more about our campaign https://experiment.com/blacksw
Contributions made through this campaign are not tax-deductible but we hope you will take pride in knowing that every dollar you contribute helps push the boundaries of knowledge and advance conservation of the Black Swift.
Good birding!
