Hello Birders:
Carlos Avery is one of the many places that are being considered as IBA’s in
Minnesota. An IBA, for those who don’t know, is an Important Bird Area, a
national and international designation. National Audubon is the U.S. partner
of BirdLife International, the group that began selecting and working to
preserve important bird places around the world based on several criteria
(ranging from importance as migration stopovers to places that harbor
endangered species).
Carlos, as many of you know, but for those who don’t, is one of the largest
pieces of open, undeveloped land close to the cities. Its 33,000 acres of
pools, woods, and marshes provides beautiful scenery for visitors, and
wonderful migratory stopover and home nesting habitat for many species of
birds. It’s located in Northeastern Anoka and Southwestern Chisago Counties.
Since I live close to Carlos, Audubon Minnesota has asked me to compile some
info on birds seen in the area, in preparation for beginning the cycle of
IBA paperwork necessary.
I appeal to all those who bird this general area regularly: If you keep
lists (or could compile one) for this area, please respond to me privately,
so I may begin to gather copies of them. We think Carlos Avery will be a
“no-brainer” IBA, but we do need the data to prove it!! We will also be
working with maps from the DNR, and other data.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration,
Holly Peirson
