Birding By Sound on the St. Croix Paddle
Are you wild about birds?
Join us for a morning on the wild and scenic St. Croix River listening and looking for spring migrants making their way north. We’ll search the skies, riparian zone, and waters for Great blue heron, green heron, belted kingfisher, bald eagle, swallows, osprey, and more. This fully supported paddle will provide an educational aspect to bird identification by sound.
