Spring Migration Still Happening - What You Can Do!

In Minnesota, we are still seeing songbirds and hummingbirds moving through or arriving to their breeding grounds.  Journey North is a great site that tracks several species of hummingbirds that can be seen in all parts of North America.  It is also a site that relies on YOU to help.  It's a great opportunity to participate in citizen science projects.

All birds (and humans!) need cover, water, and food to raise families as well as for "rest stops" in migration.  The Cornell Lab of Ornithology created a free, interactive citizen science mapping project/site called YardMap about habitat creation and low-impact land use.  You start with the area you want to work with - school yard, backyard, etc. - and integrate what you have with what you want to plant or see.
