General Meeting: Exploring the Dry Tortugas

On September 8th, join Flathead Audubon’s own Jake Bramante as he shares his experiences exploring the Dry Tortugas through photos and videos, birding the Atlantic Coast of Florida along the way. The Dry Tortugas are a small set of keys (low lying islands and reefs) located 70 miles west of Key West in Florida. This location in the Gulf of Mexico has obvious advantages for military installations, commerce, and for birds; providing the latter with important nesting spots and/or a migration stop. Jake’s trip included rookeries, endangered scrub jays, snorkeling, a Civil War-era masonry fort, bonus rocket launches, and, of course, plenty of birds!

Jake Bramante serves on the Flathead Audubon board and is the owner of Hike 734, author of guides and maps for national park visitors. Jake is also a birding guide with American Birding Guides. He’s out hiking and/or birding whenever he gets the chance.

The meeting will take place Monday, September 8th. Our meetings are available both in person and virtually. For those attending the meeting in person on September 8th, we’ll meet in Room 26 of the Gateway Community Center at 7pm. This room is located on the east side of the building along Glenwood Drive. Look for our banner outside. If you want to join virtually email aW5mbyB8IGZsYXRoZWFkYXVkdWJvbiAhIG9yZw==.
