BIRD CHECKLIST
The Northwoods
of Minnesota is home to 100 or more different species of birds, some
of which are seen only during the summer, and others which are seen
during the other seasons of the year. On our Bird
ID page, we have images of 40 of the birds that you would be most
likely to see when you visit the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary. Below,
the names of the birds are listed, with a space for you to write the
date you sighted that bird. If you wish, you can print this list out
and bring it with you, to check off the birds that you see. For detailed
information about these and other bird species, we recommend the Peterson
or Audubon Bird Guides, available at any bookstore. There is also a
website (www.enature.com) that
has a search feature, allowing you to put in a location and see a local
field guide for the region.
