BirdNote: Lake Woebegon Birds

Copyright Matthew Studebaker

It’s late August, and BirdNote is imagining the bird life at Garrison Keillor’s mythical Lake Wobegon. The loons are now quiet. And the Purple Martins that nested outside the Chatterbox Café? They’re headed for South America. Even the Orchard Orioles - like the pair seen here (female L, male R) - that nested in the tree behind the Sidetrack Tap have gone south. But the cardinals aren’t going anywhere. Neither are the chickadees.

Lake Wobegon may be a myth, but you can experience the Lake Wobegon Trail. Find it, or a public land near you, below.
