Jonathan Poppele, Marty Miller and Donnie Phyillaier invite you to join us for our next Bird Language Gathering Sunday, December 79:00 - 1:00 Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center 3815 American Blvd E Bloomington, MN 55425 RSVP in encouraged, but not required. Feel free to drop by--and it would be great to know that you are coming! Join
us as we gather
once again on the slopes of the Minnesota River Valley to explore what
the birds are telling us about our surroundings. The snow birds have returned, the robins are living high in the trees, and the winter flocks are moving through the river valley. With some luck, we may have a blanket of snow on the ground to help us track any mammals that wander through our sit area seen by the birds but not by any of us. What should I bring?Bring what you need to be comfortable sitting outside on the ground for an extended period of time—perhaps as long as an hour. You will also need something to take notes on. You do not need to have binoculars, but there is no harm in bringing a pair if you would like. Here are a few recommended and optional items to bring:Recommended: Note pad & pencil Ground cloth, blanket or camp-chair Sun protection Poncho if it is raining Optional: Water bottle Snack Binoculars Sign me up!Registration is encouraged, but not required. Feel free to drop in and join us—and it would be great to know if you are coming! If you have any questions, or to RSVP:
