Is there anything else you would like to share with the readers of 10,000 Birds?
Well over 100 species of birds have been observed here at the lodge over the years. Every summer month brings new birds to our area from the Arctic Warbler in June to the Sandhill Cranes in September. Birds migrate fast up here in the North, so we just encourage our guests to enjoy whatever birds show up on any given day.
Arctic Warbler
