MINNESOTA BREEDING BIRD ATLAS Did you know that MN is one of only seven states, and the only state along the Mississippi Flyway that hasn't developed a bird atlas? This week on Phenology John Latimer mentioned the MN Breeding Bird Atlas Project that is doing just that. According to their website they are a critical bird conservation project that will identify every species that currently breeds in the state and where in the state each species breeds. They have already had more than 800 volunteers that have helped them identify birds in our state. Check here to see how you can help.
