Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center

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 the Cooper's hawk's young close to fledging, there are bound to be lots interesting of cues and clues for us to observe.

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!
