Well, folks, there's one week left before the beginning of the Great Minnesota Birdathon. Grab a birding buddy and your binoculars, plan out your route, and hit the road! This is a very important FUNDRAISER for the programs at Hawk Ridge...the counters, the banders, and the educators at the main overlook, who provide great looks at and interesting info about banded birds before their release.
There are GREAT PRIZES for the many categories, and you can pick your OWN COUNTY or cross county lines and do a STATEWIDE birdathon. Pick any day between May 1 and 20...or the "classic" St. Louis County Big Day will be held on May 20. Don't forget to join us for the compilation brunch at the EPA lab in Duluth on May 21. It's gonna be a great time! Details and all the forms can be found at www.hawkridge.org. Click on the "Great Minnesota Birdathon" in the lower right corner. Good Birdathon-ing!
