Welcome to the Mississippi River Twin Cities Important Bird Area Landbird Monitoring Program!

This project is a citizen science monitoring initiative designed to inventory and monitor the abundance of landbirds in the Mississippi River Twin Cities IBA. Since our first season in 2004, participants have recorded 139 landbird species on 10 sites within the IBA during spring migration and summer breeding seasons. Thank you to all our volunteers who make the program a success!

Learn more about Minnesota's Important Bird Areas and how this citizen science program is working to evaluate the state of landbird species in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro. For more information on how you can get involved, contact Mark Martell, Audubon Minnesota’s Director of Bird Conservation.
