Community Education - Rochester, Minnesota

Spring is an exciting time of year to observe bird life. Our area serves as a home to those summer residents that will raise their young here in addition to providing a resting place for spring migrants as they travel to areas farther north. We should see a variety of warblers, sparrows, and thrushes as well as those reliable year round residents: cardinals, jays, and woodpeckers, just to name a few. Bring binoculars if you have them. Cosponsored with Zumbro Valley Audubon Society and Oxbow Park. RAIN DATE IS SUNDAY, MAY 19.

Are you curious about the type of trees you have in your yard or the trees that grow in our region? Perhaps you are simply interested in trees. If so, here is just the opportunity for you. Join John as he hikes the trails of Oxbow Park and learn about the various species of trees that inhabit southeastern Minnesota. A brief slide presentation on the utilization of tree flowers as one of the keys to identification will precede the trip outdoors. Cosponsored with Zumbro Valley Audubon Society and Oxbow Park. RAIN DATE IS SUNDAY, JUNE 9.
