    If You Build It, Will They Come? Breeding Birds (Expected and Not) of an Abandoned Taconite Mining Area (2015-12-17)
    (2015) Wilson, Steve; University of Minnesota Duluth. Natural Resources Research Institute
    Steve Wilson has spent over 200 hours during the last four summers searching for birds in what may be Minnesota’s least-birded habitat: the mined areas of Minnesota’s Iron Range. He speculates that more westerly bird species might colonize the rock barrens and grasslands of the Iron Range, which bear a striking resemblance to habitats typically found much further west. What he found may surprise you, and help inform whether, and how, we manipulate bird habitats in response to climate disruption.
