The 2010 Hawk Migration Association of North America conference will be hosted by Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory in Duluth, Minnesota. Positioned at the southwestern tip of magnificent Lake Superior, Duluth offers a mix of great birding, picturesque scenery and a terrific spring raptor migration. April birding in Northern Minnesota offers a wide variety of *boreal species* /(Boreal Chickadee, Black-backed Woodpecker, Gray Jay)/, *winter specialties* /(Pine Grosbeak, Hoary Redpoll)/, *northern owls* (/Great Gray, Boreal and Northern Hawk Owls) /and *spring migrants* /(you name it!) /as the convergence of three different biomes maximizes the number of different species to be seen.
The 2010 conference will feature scientific presentations, informative posters, entertaining keynote speakers and fantastic northern-specialty field trips.
