Neil Wingert has been birding in Minnesota since 2002 and tries to learn more about birds each time he hangs on to his binoculars or tries to photograph them. He has no certification in ornithology, or a pertinent college degree. You don’t need either to enjoy looking for and finding birds that wait to be seen by you. Carver County is a great location to see a variety of birds throughout the year. Some of Minnesota’s most skilled birders have seen over 250 different bird species in the county. (The author is not one of them.) This piece of the Carver County Local News will hopefully spark your interest in birding, encourage you to put up a bird feeder, or at least cause you to say “I’ve SEEN that!”
