Bird Watching Paradise in Minnesota

We have nearly 2 miles of hiking trails at our Minnesota resort to take advantage of wildlife watching. Staying at Pine Terrace offers many opportunities to see different types of migratory and non-migratory birds. Many of these can be seen lakefront, right from your lawn chair near your lake cabin.

Minnesota bird watching is not complete until you watch eagles swoop down and grab fish from the lake right before your eyes at your lakeside cabin. There are the fascinating Pileated woodpeckers with their monkey-like calls. Blue Herons always entertain as they walk along the natural unspoiled shore and occasionally stand on a dock.

Watch Downy woodpeckers nest in trees close to your lakefront cabin. We have been fortunate to be able to watch Loon babies for the last few years.

While birding in Minnesota, a few others to mention are the usual Red-winged Blackbirds, Nuthatches, Chickadees, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, Cedar Waxwings, Indigo Buntings, Scarlet Tanagers, Chestnut-sided Warblers, Baltimore Oriole, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Dark-eyed Juncos, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, and also a variety of woodpeckers and finches.

Completing any Minnesota family vacation is being fascinated with the Common Loon, with its enchantingly unique call in the morning and evening hours. The loons return to our Minnesota fishing resort a few days after the ice goes out in the spring and stay until mid to late September.
