Our annual goshawk monitoring has begun! Staff in northeastern Minnesota monitor American goshawk territories every year to see which locations have goshawks. Since these raptors can be difficult to spot, staff will look at goshawk nests for signs of activity (e.g. it’s been refurbished with new sticks or has prey remains or droppings on the ground below). Staff will also play goshawk calls and listen for a response from the bird. This time, our nongame wildlife specialist was lucky and while sh

Wildlife management isn’t about politics—it’s about science, data, and boots-on-the-ground reality. While political agendas often dominate headlines, the real work of managing wildlife populations requires understanding ecosystems, predator-prey dynamics, and the complex balance between conservation and human needs. The biologists and wildlife professionals making these decisions aren’t driven by ideology; they’re driven by decades of research and field experience. Want to dive deeper into what

It's raining wood ducks! 🦆 Wood ducks nest in hollow trees and when the eggs hatch, the ducklings must jump to join their mother on the journey to the pond. DNR wildlife biologists are researching what types of trees and cavities female wood ducks prefer, which wetlands they bring their broods to, and how successful hens are at nesting and rearing broods year-after-year. This information will be helpful for forest and wildlife management decision making across the forested region of Minnesota.

Each fall, DNR fisheries staff harvest about 1.3 MILLION walleye fingerlings from shallow rearing ponds and stock them into lakes. Most walleyes caught by anglers are from naturally reproducing populations, but some lakes with otherwise good habitat, prey, and fish communities for a good walleye fishery need a boost to overcome poor conditions for natural reproduction. When habitat and other biological conditions are favorable, stocking of either walleye fry (tiny fish) or fingerlings may benefi

🌲 For years, DNR staff have raised alarms about the DNR’s mismanagement of wildlife areas. Now, an independent state audit has backed these claims up. 📜 The Office of the Legislative Auditor—the legislature's independent watchdog that checks whether state departments follow the law—found that the DNR cannot show that our wildlife areas are being managed to create habitat for WILDLIFE. This isn’t a record keeping problem; it’s a clear failure to follow the law. ⚠️ Logging on wildlife areas must
