Feather Critters On The Way

Department of Natural Resources Small Non-Game Specialist Pam Perry said this is a very exciting time of the year for bird watchers. Perry said migratory birds are heading back to their summer homes. Perry said if you want to take a look for yourself, rivers and streams would be the best place to look first because they open up first. She said soon we'll see great blue herons, ducks and geese and all the other critters we haven't seen since last fall. Perry said the last bird club meeting for the Brainerd area will be Thursday night at the Northland Arboretum at 7pm.
