Thanks to Steve Weston I'm reminded to remind you that MN CBCs reporting resutls to Audubon are FREE to anyone under 18 years of age. So TAKE-A-KID-CBCing! Not all CBCs in MN report resutls to Audubon, and therefore do not charge the $5 participant fee. Although Audubon takes heat from time to time about the $5 fee, it does cover printing, web site, and staff costs.
Counts that usually submit results to Audubon are: Afton Albert Lea Aurora Austin Battle Lake Baudette Beltrami Island Bemidji Bloomington Carlton-Cloquet Cedar Creek Bog Cottonwood Crookston Crosby Duluth Excelsior Faribault Fergus Falls Grand Rapids Hastings-Etter Hibbing International Falls Isabella Itasca State Park Lac qui Parle Mankato Marshall Minneapolis (North) Morris Mountain Lake-Windom Northern Wright County Northwest McLeod Owatonna Pillager Pine County Rice Lake N.W.R. Rochester Roseau Sax-Zim St. Cloud-Collegeville St. Paul (North) St. Paul (northeast suburban) Two Harbors Wabasha Warren Wild River Winona Counts that do not submit results to Audubon (and do not charge a fee) are: Cook Area Detroit Lakes Fairmont Fargo-Moorhead Grand Forks-East Grand Forks Grand Marais LaCrosse-LaCrescent Lamberton Little Falls Long Prairie New Ulm Philbrook Sherburne NWR Tamarac NWR Virginia Willmar The Minnesota CBC... still counting after all these years!
