Morrison County has ideal birding areas such as Crane Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Schoessling Addition, Lindbergh State Park, Belle Prairie Park, and Camp Ripley, which has a Nature Center that features a variety of wildlife exhibits. Morrison County has a great mixture of habitat that draws in a vast amount of migratory and nesting birds and has many wildlife management areas that are open to the public.
