Abstract:

The Black Swift is a sensitive species on the Idaho Panhandle National Forest that is difficult to monitor using generalized bird survey techniques. Prior to 2013, four Black Swift breeding sites were known (Shadow Falls, Fern Falls, Char Falls, and Wellington Falls). We surveyed 16 waterfalls in 12 areas in north Idaho for Black Swift breeding activity. We confirmed two additional sites as breeding areas (Johnson Falls and Copper Falls) and confirmed habitat use at two other sites (Myrtle Falls and Granite Falls [WA]). We conclude that the Black Swift population in Idaho is larger and nest diversity is greater than previously expected.
