SUMMARY:Birding Summer Style - #3 Bass Ponds on the Minnesota River
DESCRIPTION:This is the last of three great Birding Summer Style trips offered at a variety of days and times. Why? Summer birding is more relaxed and presents possibilities for observing different behaviors once birds are settled on family territories. Birders have opportunities for lingering identifications with group interaction at a summer-time relaxed pace. The slower pace is also ideal for beginning birders to learn and experience the basics to locate\, describe and identify birds. \nBass Ponds on the Minnesota River\, 2400 E 86th St\, Bloomington. Take Cedar Avenue south from 494\, exit onto Killebrew Dr\, go to Old Shakopee Rd\, turn right (south) onto East 86th St\, at the sign for Bass Ponds\, bear left and come to the parking lot. If the lot is full\, street park on the right as you enter or in the larger parking lot back near the corner of 86th and Old Shakopee. \nSUGGESTIONS     Dress for the weather and wear closed-toe shoes. Bring a brimmed hat\, water\, sunblock and a field guide with maps or a smart phone with the app already installed. Chase will have some loaner binoculars available. Call leader if you want to borrow 8×35 binoculars. \nDIFFICULTY     Easy \nLEADER    Chase Davies  651-246-9754  RockyBirder@gmail.com
