The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Audubon Minnesota will host the second annual Kids' Bird Watching Fair from 9am-1pm on Saturday, May 8th at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge's Visitor Center in Bloomington. This free event celebrates International Migratory Bird Day by teaching children about the basics of bird watching. The event is for children ages 12 and under and their families. Children will participate in bird banding and view live raptor demonstrations. They will also learn about bird identification and bird feeding and learn how to use field guides and binoculars. No reservations are needed and all participants and chaperones will receive a complimentary lunch. A special feature this year will be the award ceremony for the Jr. Duck Stamp Competition between 10am and 11am. For more information about this event go to http://mn.audubon.org/events/1597.
