The Breeding Birds of Minnesota – the Work and the Science
In-Person &
Lee will provide an inside look into the creation and importance of The Breeding Birds of Minnesota. This book is the first comprehensive and in-depth assessment of Minnesota’s breeding birds in nearly a century. One of the most valuable aspects of the Atlas was that over 700 birders from all walks of life surveyed every corner of the state. The Atlas provides each species’ life history and seasonal status, migration, foods consumed, nest structure, name origin, habitat, population, and conservation status.
Lee A. Pfannmuller served as the state planning coordinator and interim executive director of Audubon Minnesota. She was also director of the Division of Ecological Resources at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, where she worked for fifteen years with the Nongame Wildlife Program, the Natural Heritage Program, the Scientific and Natural Areas Programs, and the Division of Minerals.
