Rare Bird Alert:
This past week a new state record was set by a Cassin’s Sparrow visiting the Two Harbors area along the Northshore! This is a bird that is usually found in arid areas of the southwest. During the fall and spring bird migrations rare birds are often found and reported. Keep an eye and ear out for anything strange or uncommon during the fall season.
Please report any unusual birds to Judd Brink via email. Please include a photo and or a brief description in the email if possible.
Go birding today and use our birding kits which are available for your birding convenience during your stay in the Brainerd Lakes area. Find more information on the Bird Watching.
