Birds and Beers is on a Sunday this month! http://www.birdchick.com/wp/birds-and-beers/
We're going to gather at Joe's Garage on the upper floor (indoors) and watch the crows come in to their winter roost. See close to a million crows fly in to a small park, while we enjoy the great food and atmosphere at Joe's Garage. 1610 Harmon Place, Minneapolis. www.joes-*garage*.com (612) 904-1163. Joe's Garage faces Loring Park and has great food. When contacted, they graciously offered our group the upper level with windows facing the park so we can watch thousands upon thousands of crows come in for their nightly roost. The crows come to roost at dusk and this time of year, sunset is early. If we get there at 4pm, the action will be just underway. There is parking in and around the park in the form of lots and meters, but be prepared to pay for parking with either quarters, cash, or maybe a check card. Joe's Garage has detailed directions on how to get to their location. I hope you can make it, I'm looking forward to actually combining some birds with our usual beer. Birds and Beers is an informal gathering of birders of all abilities-if you're interested in birds, you're invited. You can meet other birders-maybe find a carpool buddy, ask about where to find target birds, share cool research projects you might be working on, ask a bird feeding question, share life lists, share some digiscoping tips, promote your blog-the sky is the limit. It's low key and it's fun. Curt Rawn ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
