DULUTH — Northlanders are welcomed to participate in the very first in a series of 3 occasions developed for birders of all abilities and capabilities.
The initially “Everyone Can Bird’’ event is set for 9:30-11:30 a.m. May 6 at Boy Scout Landing Public Water Access, 11 Commonwealth Ave., along the St. Louis River in western Duluth.
Designed with accessibility in mind, the event will provide American Sign Language interpretation, stationary birding options, binoculars and spotting scopes for use. Expert birding guides will lead discussion and aid observation. The Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve, Hawk Ridge, Lake Superior Reserve, Wisconsin Sea Grant and the Minnesota Land Trust are hosting the “Everyone Can Bird” series.
Spring is a good time to find waterfowl, tree sparrows and bald eagles along the St. Louis River as some birds get here or take a trip through after winter season. Additional “Everyone Can Bird” opportunities will be held Aug. 2 at Barker’s Island in Superior and Oct. 14 at Hawk Ridge in Duluth.
