Site Map
The Christmas Bird Count is a yearly event that gathers information from throughout Minnesota (and other states) and is held in most counties.
The count is taken within a 5 mile radius within a circle. For
Morrison County the center is Little Falls. Next year we will plan 2
more circles, one each in the Motley and Pierz areas along with
Little Falls. Contact Frank Gosiak at this site if you are interested in
participating or call 1-320-616-7001
