Nearly half of all bird species in North America are seriously threatened by climate change and in Minnesota we have 166 climate threatened or climate endangered species, including Trumpeter Swan, American White Pelican, Common Loon, and Bald Eagle. St. Paul Audubon member Monica Bryand is working on a special project for Minnesota Audubon to capture, through photos, these 166 species. It is a work in progress but she currently has over 130 and will share her photos and some stories of her travels along the way in this presentation.
