Local Birdwatchers
Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away.
Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

I have been an active birder for about 8 years. The Minneapolis area is in a major migration flyway (the Mississippi River) and can be very good for numerous species especially in the Springtime.

I've been birding the Twin Cities for three years and consider myself an intermediate birder. I have a good knowledge of local hotspots and would love to show others or have someone tag along. No guarantees though that I can find you that rare Whooping Crane.

I am a 31 year old dad who lives on Phelps Island on Lake Minnetonka. I enjoy birding, hiking, and most things to do with the outdoors. Rare objects in nature are an obsession for me whether it be birds, other animals, plants and trees, mushrooms, agates, and unique natural places. Let's go birding!

I am a green birder, mostly in Hennepin County, but really all around the metro. I don't own a car, so I cannot provide car transport, but would love to show you around via bike or public transit.
Depending on your size, I may have a bike you can borrow, or I can recommend various rental options.
Furthermore, many excellent birding spots in Hennepin County are very accessible via public transit. The blue line light rail runs from downtown Minneapolis to within walking distance of a couple different trailheads at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
We can also combine biking and transit.
Depending on the time of year, we can target whatever strikes your fancy - ducks, gulls, warblers, sparrows, shorebirds etc. |

I live in around Long Lake Regional Park area. I think it is a good spot to watch the birds without long driving. There's Cardinal, Robin, Bluejay, Goldfinch and Red-wing Blackbird to name a few.
