The rich biological diversity of Pine County and the surrounding area
provide a bonanza of birding opportunities for experienced birders and
those just getting started. The Audubon Center of the North Woods is
located in a unique transition zone where the eastern deciduous forest
meets the northern conifer forest, and where pockets of the western
prairie can be found.The terrestrial diversity is matched by the aquatic
plethora of rivers, lakes, bogs and marshes. This first-class weekend
birding festival gives participants a chance to visit a wide variety of
habitats that support myriad bird species.
Over 225 bird species have been spotted at the Audubon Center property
alone and during this weekend, participants have the possibility to
identify many of Minnesota's Stewardship Birds, as recently identified
by Audubon Minnesota.Stewardship birds are defined as bird species where
Minnesota contains 5% or more of the bird's global breeding population.
11 of the 12 MN Stewardship Bird species are regulars to the area:
·American Woodcock
·Baltimore Oriole
·Black-billed Cuckoo
·Chestnut-Sided Warbler
·Golden-Winged Warbler
·Nashville Warbler
·Rose-Breasted Grosbeak
·Sedge Wren
·Trumpeter Swan
·Bobolink
·Veery
With field trips led by seasoned guides, engaging on-site workshops,
bird banding sessions, a live raptor presentation, renowned keynote
speakers, delicious homemade meals and comfortable accommodations, this
festival is birding at its best. We invite you to join us for a fun and
memorable weekend. Sign up today and take advantage of our "Early Bird"
