Minnesota River Valley Audubon Chapter October meeting - all are invited: David Cahlander, a MRVAC member well known for his photography, will present a photo travelogue of birds seen on a spring sea voyage from Japan, up the Russian Kuril Islands, into the US Aleutian Islands, through the Pribilofs, ending in Gambell and Nome Alaska. The trip was made in spring so all the birds are in bright breeding plumage. Birds such as Red-throated Loon, Long-tailed Jaeger, and Red Phalarope, seen in Minnesota in basic plumage, come alive in their breeding plumage.
Please join us on Thursday, October 27, 2005 at the Minnesota Valley Nat'l Wildlife Refuge Visitor's Center 3815 American Blvd E, Bloomington, MN. The public is welcome. We encourage you to come for the social period with coffee, cookies and committee exhibits beginning at 7:00 p.m., followed by a brief business meeting and the featured speaker at 7:30 p.m. The meeting concludes at 9:00 p.m. Posted by Anne Hanley Hennepin County (who saw a hermit thrush in her bird bath this evening - new yard bird)
