NORTHERN
CARDINAL SURVEY
Listen:
Northern
Cardinal songs and essay from Lang Elliot's
new book, "The Songs of Wild
Birds".
It wasn’t too many years ago that
seeing a Cardinal in northern Minnesota was a rare
thing. Now
it’s fairly common. Last year, students in the Forest
View Middle School Bird Club in Baxter, the
DNR’s Non-Game Wildlife Department, and 91.7 KAXE
sponsored a first-ever Northern Cardinal
survey. We asked KAXE listeners of all
ages and from all over northern Minnesota to send
us their Cardinal sightings between Saturday,
December 23rd and Tuesday, January 2nd
of 2006.
The DNR mapped all the sightings
(below).
