Calling all birders, citizen scientists, morning people, photography enthusiasts, and anyone just looking for things to do outside! Pipestone National Monument needs your help collecting data this spring.
On Saturday, May 8th, we're hosting a Migratory Bird Day BioBlitz from (brace yourself) 6:00 am - 8:00 am. We wish birds slept in, too, but they insist on getting an early start. We'll have complimentary coffee and donuts for blitzers to get the blood going.
No birding experience is required!
Don't know birds? Not a problem! All you have to do is photograph every bird you see in the Monument and upload it the iNaturalist page for this event. That's it! The iNaturalist community and our own biologists can go in later and identify them.
All blitzers will receive a token of thanks before they leave for helping us collect this much needed information.
RSVP if you're interested so that we know where to plan on sending people in the Monument to get the best data (and how much coffee to make!): 507-825-5464 ext. 214.
