Featured, Featured, Home Page News, Minnesota, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, News, Wisconsin /

Right on cue for the 250th anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Postal Service is releasing a new set of commemorative stamps honoring America’s national symbol, the bald eagle.
On May 14, the Postal Service will unveil “Bald Eagle: Hatchling to Adult” at a first-day-of-issue event at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, Minn., right on the Mississippi River. The free, public ceremony will highlight the eagle’s full life cycle, from fuzzy hatchling to the stern, windblown symbol of freedom we all know.

Shakespeare had a Harris’s hawk? A birder’s guide to ruining perfectly good films

Featured, Home Page News, Minnesota, Nature Page & Night Sky /

Recently, I was listening to a news report about movies and sound design. The reporter was interviewing a sound engineer, Al Nelson, about the 2025 movie race-car film F1: The Movie with Brad Pitt.
Nelson detailed all the steps necessary to produce an accurate depiction of how cars sound like on various circuits. He noted that there is a large enough F1 fan base out there that the Internet would explode with criticism if they got the sound of even one track incorrect.

Looking for a Valentine’s Day getaway in the outdoors? Some top spots for seeing America’s national symbol

Valentine’s Day is about to arrive, and perhaps you aren’t ready. Have you considered taking your special someone to see bald eagles? Sure, you could get a fancy chocolate box or sparkly jewelry, but nothing says you care like taking your sweetheart to see a few hundred bald eagles scavenging for dead fish on a cold, wintry day.
Seriously, all of February is usually a great month for eagle watching because there’s been enough cold to really ice up rivers, and eagle hormones are starting to shift towards breeding season.

Warning signs for the tiger of the tundra? Snowy owl proposed for international conservation

Home Page News, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky /

Snowy owls often make the news in the Upper Midwest in winter when a few birds appear along the icy shores of the Great Lakes or flying around airports – open, windswept places that resemble the Arctic tundra where they breed.
This week, however, snowy owls are in the news for far more troubling reasons.

Despite their name, common eiders are uncommon in Minnesota, but there have been at least two sightings of this sea duck in the state so far this November.
Alex Burchard found a common eider on Nov. 21 while birding Lake Bemidji. The bird consistently has been seen from the shores of Paul Bunyan State Park.
