May 7, 2016, Saturday - Mississippi River Gorge Bird Hike
Time: 7 AM - 10 AM
Mississippi River Gorge Bird Hike
The Mississippi River Gorge is one of the best places around for bird watching, and the best time to see and hear them is in May! Join local birding experts Dave Zumeta and Lee Pfannmuller for an exploration of the world-class flyway along the river gorge in Longfellow. Over 170 species have been observed in this area!
Novices and experienced birders all welcome. Bring your binoculars (or let us know you need a pair) and a water bottle. Wear sturdy shoes for exploring the river bluffs and forest and banks.
The hike is free, but RSVP is required as the number of participants is limited to 30. RSVP to joe@longfellow.org or call Joe at 612-722-4529, x13. When you RSVP, you will be provided with the starting location for the hike.
