On-line Resources for Information, Things To Do, Etc.
This is for the birds……does it seem like there are more birds this spring than ever before? That’s a benefit of slowing down and paying more attention to the natural life next to us. Here are some resources for learning more about birds.
Thank you to local photographer Tomy O’Brien, for sharing his beautiful images.
- Ever felt like everyone knows the names of different birds except you? Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab is a highly rated free app.
- iBird Pro Guide to Birds is not free but helps identify birds by sight and by their song.
- Birding in Minnesota with the Audubon Society General information about good areas for birding and what types of birds to look for.
- Loon Cam 2020! There are two eggs on the nest of last week….watch live!
- Minnesota has the National Eagle Center in Wabasha! While the center is closed due to Covid, their website is full of Eagle information. Check it out!
