I have a cabin on a swamp in Alberta. There’s a big shallow lake that’s perfect for waterfowl, plus the massive amounts of insects brings in a ton of other birds. Lot of bird watchers come, nights are unreal loud. I’d assume Minnesotas largest lake would be similar. North Dakota or Montana would be better but not sure if they have any big lakes?
I live in the South near forests, and the song birds really peak in April - June. Assuming you are traveling, and just staying temporarily, probably check out some lodges or camping in state parks. Near lakes is a good bet too.
I know that Cape May, NJ is a popular place for birds to migrate in spring and fall and is a popular place for birdwatching. They have an observatory. I'd check out any of the migratory areas. There's also the Merlin app which is actually quite impressive for a birdwatching app. They can detect bird species with a microphone and have the info for 1000s of species.
