Birds Seen at St. Croix National Scenic Riverway

There are 243 species of birds included in the Riverway's Bird Checklist.  Of these, 161 species are known to nest here.  The Riverway crosses the division between coniferous forest, mixed hardwood forest and prairies resulting in a variety of diverse habitats for birds.

The list is a work in progress.  Information on some of these species is limited, especially those listed with a question mark.  Please report any new species, or those listed as occasional, rare or accidental.
