Spring is just about here and the staff at Itasca State Park says there are many different things to do in the park this time of year to celebrate the warmer temperatures. Itasca State Park Lead Naturalist Connie Cox says one of the things to do in the park during this time of year is birdwatching, as the birds are starting to change their looks and movements. 

Cox also gives us a preview of what’s going to happen in the park throughout the next couple months as spring comes into full swing. 

Cox says getting out to the park this time of year can help you psychologically as well.
