For the last week, 18 birders have been collaborating on a list of places suitable for mobility-limited birders in Minnesota. Each location is productive and is either a short walk or a place you can safely drive to and park. We have identified and described 38 places so far.
Here's the link to the spreadsheet in Google Documents: https://spreadsheets2.google.com/ccc?authkey=CMC-zboM&hl=en&key=tXG9Y3vnnlUU7lj6ncY_STg&hl=en&authkey=CMC-zboM#gid=0 The locations are organized by region: Twin Cities (seven counties), nearby Wisconsin, and the three MN regions as defined in Kim Eckert's "A Birder's Guide to Minnesota" -- NE (boreal habitat mostly), SE (hardwood forest), and W (prairie). Then locations are alphabetized by county and nearby city. We also include information on: Directions,"Best Season," Features and Habitat, and Limitations. Thanks to the following thoughtful people for their contributions: Jen Baines, Ann Bier, Andrew Birch, Kimberly C., Rob Daves, Matt Dufort, Molly Evans, IvarsKrafts, Ron Plinske, Al Schirmacher, LaryServio, Erica Sitz, Tony Smith, KikiSonnen, Steve Weston, Linda White and Gail Wieberdink. If you have further suggestions or corrections, please reply via back channel. Additional out-state locations would be particularly appreciated, as well as locations where a mobility-limited person has a good chance of seeing uncommon species.
