Take Flight! Spotting Spring Birds
Discover the songs and sights of Minnesota’s spring migratory birds! Join birder and
instructor Ron Miller MD for a birding walk in Itasca State Park to discover recently arrived
breeding birds as well as species passing through on their northward migration. Are you
new to birding? Don’t worry, birders of all levels are welcome – this program is designed to
improve birding knowledge, create field skills through song recognition and have fun
watching birds outdoors.
WHAT TO BRING: Bring binoculars and bird field guide books. Itasca State Park has a limited
number of binoculars to lend. Wear comfortable shoes for walking and appropriate layers
for the temperatures. Insect repellant and a hat are useful. Bring snack and water if you
need it for this short outing.
