We see a great diversity of bird life around our shores and forest because part of our forest stewardship plan aims to enhance habitat types and natural food sources. Below is a list of the species we have observed over the decades. Of course the cast of characters changes with the seasons and the years. For more information on any of these birds, we suggest visiting the Minnesota Ornithological Union or the Cornell University Ornithology Laboratory. Clicking on the scientific name will show you a picture of the bird, you can hear what it sounds like, and learn much about its distribution and ecology.
