Blandings Turtle
This state threatened species is at risk primarily due to habitat loss, but also increased predator populations which prey on their eggs and young. It is identifiable by its bright yellow chin and throat.Osprey
Ospreys only eat fish and are generally found nesting near water in large nests on power poles, trees, or specially built Osprey nesting platforms. When hunting fish, they will dive into the water feet first to catch their prey. They can be distinguished from Bald Eagles by their more slender build and white underside.Great Horned Owl
Minnesota’s heaviest owl (up to 4-5 lbs.) is a fierce predator. They are opportunistic hunters and will hunt prey as large as skunks or muskrats. Listen for their hooting calls in autumn when males begin establishing territory in order to nest in January or February.Yellow Birch Tree
Readily distinguished from the more commonly known White or Paper Birch by its grayish-yellow to bronze peeling bark. It is consumed by white-tailed deer, rabbits, and beavers. Its seeds, catkins, and buds are eaten by a variety of birds including grouse, chickadees, and finches. Bruised twigs have a wintergreen smell.Indian Pipe
This unusual and parasitic plant appears white rather than green because it lacks chlorophyll, which most plants have for producing food. It survives by partnering with fungi to steal nutrients from other plants. It doesn’t need the sun to survive, so it can grow in the dark! -
