Wilderness Retreats on Lake Vermilion |
MINNESOTA BIRDING & WILDLIFE
Plan your Minnesota
birding vacation in our Northern Minnesota wilderness.
Situated in the transition zone between the northern temperate forest
and the boreal forest, our Superior National Forest location hosts the greatest diversity
of breeding birds of any national forest. In addition, Lake Vermilion is home to 25 pairs
of breeding osprey and more than a dozen pairs of breeding bald eagles, the largest
concentration in the forest. Also, in 2000, the Sportsmen's Club on the lake counted 256 loons.
Bob Jansen, author of "Birds of Minnesota" and
Jim Williams, editor of "Minnesota Birding" identified 92 species of birds in
one brief spring visit before many of the summer species had even arrived!
Here's a LIST of all birds sighted at Pehrson Lodge or on local
field trips in 2000.
Our national forest location is also home to many of North America's most exciting mammal
species. Search for wolves, deer, moose, bear, otter, beaver, mink, fisher and
other
wildlife.
