May 09, 2024 Thursday 6:00-8:30pm at the Bell Museum in St Paul.
From 2009 to 2013, volunteer observers conducted the first comprehensive survey of breeding birds in MN. A nine-square-mile block in every township was sampled by birders who ranked four categories of evidence of behavior. Some of you may have participated in documenting breeding behavior in one or more "blocks" that covered the entire state. Two of the scientists who coordinated this massive project will present the study. You can register for the event in the link provided.
