Festival of Birds returns to Detroit Lakes

This summer marks the 25th anniversary of when trumpeter swans were restored in Minnesota — the first one from the restoration project was released at the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge. So it seems only fitting that the bird be honored during the 15th annual Festival of Birds celebration next month.

Birders spot falcons believed to be GF’s couple

They can’t say for sure yet, but local birders seem fairly convinced that Terminator and Roosevelt have returned once again to Grand Forks. The peregrine falcon couple, a local item since 2009, was spotted this week nesting atop a tower on the The University of North Dakota campus, where they were relocated from their original domicile on the late “Smiley” water tower.

Birding an enjoyable and unique outdoor experience

I’ve had the opportunity to hunt many different places and species across North Dakota, much of it a result of having lived in more than 10 different zip codes across the state.

Arrowwood to host Big Sit

The Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge will host a Big Sit! at the Warbler Woodland Wildlife Viewing Area. This free event will be held from 7:30 a.m. to dark Oct. 9 at the Warbler Woodland Wildlife Viewing Area on the refuge. People may come for an hour or so, or for the day. The refuge is located northeast of Pingree (off U.S. Highway 281) or south west of Kensal (off N.D. Highway 9). The Big Sit! is a non-competitive birding event. The Big Sit! is like a Big Day, or a bird-a-thon in that the object is to tally as many bird species as can be seen or heard within 24 hours from a 17-foot diameter circle.

The biggest birding event in the area is nearly ready to load up the buses with avid birders and roll out across this part of the state. Birding Drives Dakota is taking a group of birders from as far away as Florida and California across the Prairie Potholes out on seven different tours in hopes of finding some “life list” birds.

Hawk Ridge regular shares love of birding

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — There he is, sitting on the elevated hawk-counting platform at Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve. He wears his Swarovski 10-by-42 EL binoculars, but he is not an official counter. He’s on nobody’s payroll. He wears no name tag, bears no official title. But Andrew Longtin has become an integral part of this nationally recognized raptor observation outpost in Duluth.
