Minnesota Bird Watching

Welcome indeed! Whether you are a beginning birder or an avid bird watcher, Minnesota is a great place to wander and wonder. It is an enchanting place-the North Star State. Vast boreal forests, expansive prairies, remote bogs and wetlands, and woodlands galore all add up to some great birding. Minnesota is one of the larger states in the United States-approximately 400 miles long and 250 miles wide. This computes to 86,943 square miles. 86,943 square miles is another way of saying big. Yes, Minnesota is a large state. One county (St. Louis) has more than 6,700 square miles. That’s a county that has been super-sized to the dimensions of a state.
