Young Birders Club: Waterfowl
The ice is thawing, and birds are migrating north along the Mississippi River. This is just the right time to be out looking for ducks, mergansers and other water birds! All materials provided.
Welcome Back the Herons
Get ready to celebrate as we joyfully welcome back the herons, cormorants, and egrets that make Minnesota their summer home! After their long migratory journey along the Mississippi River, these magnificent birds are returning, heralding the arrival of spring and a season of renewal.
Turtles of the Mississippi River
Meet some of the turtles that call the Mississippi River home. Through careful observation and exploration of one of the places they call home, discover how their adapted bodies and behaviors help them survive in this riparian habitat.

Free Family Funday – Waterfowl on the River
The ice is thawing, and birds are migrating north along the Mississippi River. Use binoculars and a spotting scope to look for ducks, mergansers and other water birds! All materials provided.
The Sacred Water Shared Future campaign is powered by you! The heart of this centennial celebration is the incredible variety of events planned and hosted by our partners — community groups, nonprofits, businesses, schools, and individuals who feel a connection to the Mississippi River.
We do not host events ourselves; instead, we serve as a central hub for river-focused activities happening across the Twin Cities throughout 2026.
