There is no single publication one can use to keep track of ornithological research done in Minnesota. Papers stemming from such work are published in myriad journals. Google now offers something of a solution (for this and any other scientifically based search you might want to make). Go to http://scholar.google.com/ and enter your search words. My request for scientific papers containing the words Minnesota+bird resulted in 7,100 listings. Not all of the work brought to the screen is bird related. Some research is Bird related; there is an impressive number of researchers named Bird doing work in Minnesota, on hearts and dogs and other subjects.
This Google address is a new and most useful source for scientific documents, however, and scrolling through the research done by Minnesotans or involving Minnesota birds is both impressive and entertaining. Up front on the list I retrieved were several papers discussing research done as the wind-generation towers were being planned and erected in southwestern Minnesota. This is a particularly interesting subject. Jim Williams Wayzata, Minnesota
