Itasca County and Chippewa National Forest Birding
About 5 miles south of the town of Federal Dam on Cass CR 8, the Boy River crosses near the intersection of CRs 4 & 8. The wide swath of marsh here is home to Yellow Rails, Nelson’s Sharp-tailed Sparrows, and other marsh birds—most easily found during low-light hours. This marshy habitat can also be found on the north end of Federal Dam.
