Hennepin County (p. 299) is the most populous county in Minnesota and spans a total area of approximately 607 square miles. It is frequently birded, especially in the south and east. Our goal is to explore the western and northern portions of this diverse county. There are interesting places outside the metro with regional parks, WMAs and SNAs to explore. Breeding birds will be feeding young. Resident sparrows, thrushes, and swallows will be on territory. Predators needing to feed their young will also be looking for meals including Cooper's Hawk, Merlin, and Peregrine Falcon. Craig Mandel and John Quinn both live in the county so you can double your confidence in finding good birds. (Base: TBD)
