You will see birds because you do. Wherever you are. Even in Grand Forks in the teeth of the first fall snowstorm. Definitely bring all of your layers!
That dessert cardinal is so cool! Another bird I didn't know existed. And your timing for North Dakota is stellar, lol, with the first snow of the season now on the ground. I didn't know anything about birds the year I spent a winter working in North Dakota, but I bet there are still some birds! There were a few in Alaska in February so you know, there are some hardy species!
Thanks Karen! Yeah, I'm being convinced enough to bring my camera--though I have no idea what to look for...sparrows? redpolls? snowy owls?!!! Might have to do some research...
The year I spent the winter in Bismarck, we flew in on a Tuesday. Monday night we had gone to a Chiefs/Raiders MNF game in shorts. We landed with 15" of snow on the ground. Ah, North Dakota.
Uffda- not a good time to visit Grand Forks!! The snow is suppose to miss Walker- just rain. If you venture south at all, give me a holler. I could definitely road trip too! We have birds in Walker

Thanks Susan! I have so many layers... Maybe I'll get a few lifers...guess I'll pack the camera...
You never know.... :)
There were 33 species seen in Grand Forks on 9/30 so I'm sure you'll see birds barring a blizzard!
Awesome! Guess I'll have to do more research...eBird!

Hi Jody! Not sure the route we'll take--leaving it up to Chris. But I'm happy to detour for birds! Be awesome to see you again!
