Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge—Bloomington Education and Visitor Center

Join us as we enjoy spring birdwatching at the feeder, adjacent fields, and nearby overlook.We will meet at the bird feeder just behind the MVNWR Visitor Center (no need to enter the building). If it is raining, we will meet inside the Visitor Center.This outing is appropriate for birders with a range of mobility challenges including birders who use wheelchairs, walkers, or canes, as well as those with difficulty walking, but all birders are welcome. We expect to see many species of bird at close range. All birders from beginner to experienced are welcome.<ul><li>Binoculars will be available for those who need them.</li><li>Please dress for the weather.</li></ul>Birdability/accessibility description: The path is paved and has curb cuts from the parking lot. The path is wide, flat and there are no slopes. The bird feeder is just 400 feet from the handicap parking spaces. Disability parking spaces are available and accessible portable toilets are located nearby.There are a few benches near the bird feeder, but you may also wish to bring your own folding stool or chair. We will sit for the first 45 minutes. Then, we will (optional) walk several hundred feet to the Minnesota Valley overlook, and then walk to the adjacent field (approx. ¼ mile total).If you have questions or concerns, please contact Mark Paller (<a href="mailto:palle001@umn.edu" title="mailto:palle001@umn.edu" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">palle001@umn.edu</a>).
