At 170 square miles Ramsey is the smallest county in Minnesota. Compare that to St. Louis County at 6860 square miles. The good news is that this will allow us to spend more time at choice locations searching for resident species. With a border defined by the Mississippi River and its bottomlands we’ll have plenty of places to look for Prothonotary Warblers, herons and egrets then we’ll visit several parks with grassland and woods to search for sparrows, cuckoos, Eastern Meadowlarks, Dickcissel, and Red-shouldered Hawks. This is Frank Forsberg’s home county, so we’ll have local intel to help us find great birds. (Ramsey County p. 306)
