Minnesota DNR

As we approach the start of pheasant hunting season, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is reporting the number of birds is down slightly this year.

It might still be only August, but a handy tool to keep track of where Minnesota's most vibrant fall colors are occurring is already up and running.

Minnesota is home to several species of reptiles, but only one of them has this distinction.

We see them all the time all over Rochester and southeast Minnesota, but did you know the robin ISN'T the most common bird here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

If you've been looking to get out and enjoy the great outdoors here in Minnesota, the DNR is making it easier on your checkbook.

Minnesotans loved getting out into the great outdoors SO MUCH last year that a new campground is being built at one of the state's most popular areas.
