Breeding Bird Large Plot Monitoring- "Boulder Lake Management Area was one of nine study plots located across northern Minnesota studied by Natural Resource Research Institute researchers. The study plots are one square mile in area and are located on a variety of land ownerships including federal, state, county, industry and private. The large plots were chosen to represent the various forest management agencies that exist in northern Minnesota. These intensive study plots were sampled as part of an intensive study on breeding productivity and habitat and landscape use of breeding forest birds, which complements NRRI's ongoing Forest Bird Monitoring Program on western Great Lakes national forests."
