Along the Border of the United States and Canada, the scenic forest and lakes region of the Turtle Mountains provides another popular birding destination for bird watchers to have a glimpse of some of the rarest birds that North America has to offer. Lake Metigoshe, the "clear water surrounded by oaks," with groves of birches, aspens, ash, and American elms, attracts a variety of forest birds. The region supports exciting North woods species, including the common loon, red-necked grebe, bald eagle, broad-winged hawk, American white pelican, redhead, common golden-eye ,bufflehead, wood duck, and many more. In fact, the Songbird migration will be flourishing during the festival, which offers the opportunity to see as many as 25 different species of warblers, plus several thrushes, vireos, orioles and much, much more. |
