Bird Banding

The public is welcome to watch and ask questions at the annual bird banding event from 7:00 a.m. to 12 noon.  Spring migration should be in full force and this will give people an up-close of some of the birds that make Minneopa their home.  Merrill Frydendall of the Friends of Minneopa State Park will be leading the bird banding event.  Dr. Frydendall is a retired biology professor from Minnesota State University, Mankato and has been maintaining and documenting 50 blue bird houses at the park for over 30 years.  Meet at the Group Campground Area.
