![]() ![]() The northern limit of their range is in Iowa, but they are predicted to move into southern Minnesota by mid-century. The Great-tailed Grackle can be found in open habitats with water nearby. (A guild is a group of species that share a common trait such as habitat type, nest location, or food source.) However, small declines in some guilds will be watched in the future, including among insectivores such as the warblers and flycatchers, birds found in successional/agricultural/scrub habitats such as the Bell’s Vireo, and urban species such as the robin and Blue Jay. There were no stastically significant trends in population density among the guilds along the river. Eastern Wood-Pewee was the only species with a significant trend, increasing at 8 birds/mi 2/year. The Black-capped Chickadee was the most densely populated species at 139 birds/mi 2, followed by American Goldfinch (97 birds/mi 2) and American Robin (84 birds/mi 2). The Eastern Wood-Pewee is the only species that is significantly increasing. The Black-capped Chickadee, American Goldfinch, and American Robin are the most densely populated species along the upper Mississippi River. Still, based on an analysis of of data collected from 2015 through 2018, the most common species were woodland and “urban” birds. And it is one of only two parks (the other is Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan) that are home to nesting grassland birds such as Grasshopper Sparrows, Henslow’s Sparrows, and Dickcissels. This is the only Great Lakes Network park in which the Bell’s Vireo has been found (four heard or seen in 2019). While it has its share of forests, this set of survey points is unique for its coverage of grassland habitats. A total of 88 species have been documented, (average of 62 species per year) since surveys began in 2015. Each point is visited once in June to document all birds heard and seen. There are 49 points scattered among nine city, county, and regional parks in the 72-mile length of the national park boundary. We monitor songbirds along the upper Mississippi because they are important indicators of habitat quality and-because they are the most commonly observed wildlife-they are popular with park visitors. Songbirds are just one part of this large group of migratory species, and some of them stop in the Twin Cities area to nest during the summer months. The public lands that comprise the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area benefit from this abundance and nurture it by protecting habitats for both migrating and nesting birds. The Audubon Society estimates that more than 325 bird species use this route twice each year, flying between their breeding grounds in Canada and the northern United States and their wintering grounds along the Gulf of Mexico and in Central and South America. ![]() The Mississippi River corridor is one of North America’s four major flyways.
