[mou] Birding Alaska presentation 9/25 at 7:30, Hennepin Co.

[Anne Hanley]

Please join the Minnesota River Valley Audubon Chapter (MRVAC) for a presentation on Birding Alaska by Craig Mandel on 9/25 at 7:30 pm

Craig has great photos and stories from his recent birding trip to Alaska – land of nearly 24-hour daylight. Super-long days can be great if you want to bird all the time and don’t need to sleep.  If you are interested in going to Alaska or have already been up there and want to relive those memories, join us September 25th.  Craig has birded extensively in Minnesota – he has seen over 100 birds in each of the 87 counties in Minnesota – as well as around the US and around the world.

Craig leads trips for Kim Eckert’s Minnesota Birding Weekends as well as for MRVAC and the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

Please join us on at 7:00 pm at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in Bloomington to view
the artwork in the gallery, check out the bird feeders or socialize over coffee and cookies from 7:00 - 7:30 pm.

A brief business meeting and the featured speaker begin at 7:30 pm. The meeting concludes at 9:00 pm.
