Hey all-
I'm like to encourage people to go Atlas in my home state! If I recall
correctly, that swath of MN is extremely diverse in breeding birds. My uncle
Dave Benson once told me that section of the state has some of the highest
BBS diversity recorded in the country, mostly because of the diversity of
habitats. It's great country, with great birds!
