  • This dataset is part of an ongoing effort that began in 1979 at the University of Minnesota Itasca Biological Station to conduct a springtime annual survey of breeding birds around the Wilderness Loop drive in Itasca State Park. Following traditional USGS Breeding Bird Survey methods, Field Ornithology students conduct 3-minute point counts along an established route with 18 stops approximately 0.5 miles apart in distance. Students then recorded the species and number of birds seen and heard within a 0.25 radius.
