Other Birding News and Tips

Did you know that the American Goldfinch was Minnesota’s unofficial state bird until 1961 when the Common Loon became the state bird?

June is the nesting season for many of our backyard friends. Consider adding a bird box for Chickadees, House Wrens, Robins, Bluebirds and Tree Swallows!
