The Mississippi River Valley offers a wide range of habitats for many species of birds. It can be a treasure trove of warblers during migration, a gathering for eagles in winter, and a haven for pelicans, cormorants, and waterfowl in the summer. It's easily accessible and a jewel for birding and wildlife watching in Minnesota. This guide to birding spots along the Mississippi River provides maps and directions to sites with the best potential for birding in this diverse habitat throughout the year. - Back cover.
