To add to the ebird discussion: I attended a meeting today where the new Important Bird Area (IBA) along the Mississippi River from the Washington Avenue bridge in Mpls. down to Hastings, MN. was discussed. Having birders post all observations from that area on ebird would be an excellent way to monitor the use of the IBA by birds. Audubon Minnesota will probably designate specific areas they would like monitored. The same idea works for all IBAs. -- Tom Bell 5868 Pioneer Road South Saint Paul Park MN 55071 651 459-4150 --NextPart_Webmail_9m3u9jl4l_25964_1127184350_0 Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit <html><body> <DIV>To add to the ebird discussion: I attended a meeting today where the new Important Bird Area (IBA) along the Mississippi River from the Washington Avenue bridge in Mpls. down to Hastings, MN. was discussed.
