Laura Erickson (Minnesota's well known author) went to Texas three times in 2013 and each trip brought her species not seen anywhere else. A close encounter with a mountain lion was exciting, but her most dangerous experience was due to a wad of monofilament that almost ended her chase for a Hook-billed Kite. She’ll share photos and information about Texas specialties and tips about finding them. *Where: *Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center 3815 American Blvd E, Bloomington.
