Boundary Waters birds – free event April 28

Which birds are breeding where?  That’s one of the questions the Minnesota Breeding Bird Atlas project will answer.  The goal of this 5-year, state-wide project is to document all Minnesota’s breeding birds and where in the state they nest.

This presentation by Audubon Minnesota’s Bonnie Sample will describe how volunteer citizen scientists can contribute to this critical conservation project.  We need to cover all of Minnesota, including the BWCAW.  It’s fun, it’s easy, and project participants will definitely learn more about Minnesota’s breeding birds.
