In Celebration of National Birdability Week
About this Event

Join us as we celebrate national Birdability Week and enjoy fall birdwatching at the feeder, adjacent fields, and nearby overlook.

This outing is appropriate for birders with a range of mobility challenges including birders who use wheelchairs, walkers, or canes, as well as those who walk slowly, but all birders are welcome. We expect to see many species of bird at close range. All birders from beginner to experienced are welcome.

  • Binoculars will be available for those who need them.
  • Please dress for the weather.

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.

Hosted by Land of Lakes Bird Alliance; co-sponsored by Birdability®

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, so you may also wish to bring your own folding stool or chair.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact Mark Paller ([email protected]).

More information about Birdability® at https://www.birdability.org or contact Mark Paller.

Please feel free to share this with your friends and family.
