West Skyline Spring Count | Mankato, MN

Join us at the West Skyline Spring Count every Sunday March-May for a short 15-30 min intro program to learn about the count and the amazing diversity of birds coming back in the spring! Find out why our two spring count sites are on the west side of Skyline Pkwy vs. the east side at Hawk Ridge, what makes the spring count different from the fall count, and which species do we see in greater numbers during spring than the fall. All sorts of fascinating variations to explore between the seasons!
All spring programs will take place at the spring count site for the day – either the West Skyline Parkway pull off below Enger Tower or on West Skyline Parkway below the Minnesota Welcome Center (Thompson Hill). Check the Hawk Ridge website main page for a link to Trektellen to learn where the count is for the day (location will be in the comments). Please check the Hawk Ridge Website for more information on visiting the spring count. Wings over West Skyline is a free program and open to the public of all ages. No registration required. Suggested $5 donation to help support our programming. See you at the spring count!
