| Bemidji,
located in northwest Minnesota, is at the confluence of three
major ecological biomes found |
| in Minnesota. Although Bemidji
is situated in the northern conifer forest, it is only 40 miles to
the south |
| west that deciduous forest with its
oaks and maples is found. 80 miles to the west, is the Red
River |
| Valley, and the native prairie
remnants there. |
| Bemidji is an excellent
hub for excursions to birding 'hot spot's. Many unique
species can be sighted |
| within the city limits, with
additional hot spots just 10 minutes to 60 minutes
away. |
| Lake
Bemidji State Park is a premier bird watching spot, with
birding events held bi-annually. |
| The Headwaters Science Center
provides educational birding programs, including a Raptor
Rehabilitation |
| Project. |
