Length: 59:11
Release Date: April 20, 2021
Presenter: Sharon Stiteler
Presented by the University of Minnesota Retirees Association (UMRA).
If you’ve walked along the river gorge between Minneapolis and St. Paul this past winter, you may have encountered a murder of crows in a mysterious spectacle: flying around cawing in a wild cacophony. A murder mystery! Sharon Stiteler will help us solve the mystery.
A National Park Ranger, author, and radio/TV personality, Stiteler’s books include Disapproving Rabbits, City Birds/Country Birds, and her latest, 1001 Secrets Every Birder Should Know. She has appeared on MPR’s All Things Considered and the NBC Nightly News, talking birding. She blogs at birdchick.com.
Stiteler will tell us about the opportunities for birding and wildlife viewing in the 72-mile Mississippi National River and Recreational Area, a 54,000-acre protected corridor that stretches from the cities of Dayton and Ramsey in the north to just south of Hastings.
