The Big Sit is a mass event to get a snapshot of the world bird population by using the free app eBird. Please come out to Mni Owe Sni (Coldwater Spring) and note all the birds you can see and identify there. It’s a great chance to view native sparrows, thrushes, and even a few bluebirds. Rangers and volunteers will be in the accessible parking lot from sunrise to sundown to help point out birds or answer your questions on how to participate. Every bird reported helps us understand bird populations and how birds use Coldwater Spring.

Cost: Free.
Age: Any age are welcome.
Time: 7:00 AM -6:00 PM
Location: Mni Owe Sni / Coldwater Spring 5601 Minnehaha Park Dr S, St Paul, MN 55111

This is a drop-in event. We hope to see you there! Come anytime, stay as long as you’d like.

In this episode of Coffee With A Ranger, Ranger Sharon discusses how to use the eBird app.
