Index to Minnesota Birding

Compiled for January 1993 through December 2001
compiled by Andy Jones

This index does not cover everyarticle printed over the course of the past nine years. Rather, it covers the articles which I felt would be of interest to readers of Minnesota Birding in later years. As such, it focuses on recipients of major awards, tricks for finding target species, guides to particular birding sites, information about publications relevant to Minnesota, and highlights of trips. Short pieces on news about the club itself (such as forthcoming publications), upcoming field trips, notes about submission dates, regular columns, etc. are not included.

The information is provided in this order: title/subject, page number, issue date.

The following abbreviations have been used:

ABA = American Birding Association
DNR = Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
MBW = Minnesota Birding Weekend
Minn. = Minnesota
NWR = National Wildlife Refuge
OTR = On the Road (column)
RT = Road Trip (column)
WSO = Wisconsin Ornithological Society
