Each year, more than 280 variations of birds visit the Winona area. Within a radius of ten miles, the diverse habitats and location on the Mississippi River's great migration path attract a surprising mosaic of bird-life.

Each spring and fall, thousands of these birds pause at Weaver Bottoms and Alma's Reick's Park on their migration journey. The bird is a year-round resident, nesting within a few miles of the city limits. Backyard winter bird feeding You can enjoy the beauty of birds from the comfort of your own backyard window.
