 9:00 - 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. With summer behind us, the woods are quieting down. With the young fledged, the baseline of the forest is less frenetic. Meanwhile, the juvenile Cooper's hawks are becoming more and more adept hunters. We hope to once again spot the hawks and the ripples they send through the woods. 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.
