I cannot believe we are half wy through the year. This week, I continue to follow the Wisconsin/Minnesota border, passing through several state parks. This weeks focus is Frontenac State Park. From the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources:
Located on the Mississippi River, Frontenac is a birdwatcher's paradise. It's one of the best spots in the country to view birds migrating in the spring and fall. More than 260 species of birds have been recorded here. No wonder: Lake Pepin's diverse habitats -- bluffland, prairie, floodplain forest and upland hardwood forest -- attract numerous warblers, hawks, waterfowl and shorebirds. Hikers and skiers enjoy spectacular views of this beautifully wooded river valley. Fishing, swimming and boat tours are all available nearby.
They also offer Geocaching in addition to a Geocaching Avian Adventure (http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/geocaching/avian/index.html)
Grab your binoculars, GPS unit and get ready to fly!
The Minnesota State Parks and Trails Geocaching Avian Adventure will take you across Minnesota—discovering the hidden gems of the state and revealing exciting facts about Minnesota's favorite friends of flight. This two-year program offers modern-day treasure hunters an exciting adventure filled with a variety of challenges, rewards, and bird-brained fun! The program began June 9, 2012 and will conclude in June of 2014.
