Bed, Breakfast and Birding in the Boreal

Filed under: News, birding — admin @ 3:19 pm

Bird watchers will find an astonishing variety of birds, both migratory and resident along the Gunflint Trail's Boreal Forest where Poplar Creek Guesthouse B& B and Cabins are located.  Also you are sure to see many more birds at the feeding station located around the property.  These bird-feeding stations are maintained year-around.

Further up the Gunflint Trail a few miles is the site of the Ham Lake fire of 2007. Venture into the burned over area and you are likely to catch a glimpse of the Black-backed and Three-toed Woodpeckers. They like to feast on the insects that multiply in burned trees.

New this year at the B&B- guided and self guided Birding Packages are now offered.
