Agassiz Refuge Lost Bay Habitat Drive Opens for the Season
2020-05-01 00:00 - 23:59 | Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge, Middle River, MN
Load your family in the car and head to Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge to experience the sights and sounds of spring that nature has to offer. Observe up to 17 species of ducks that breed on the Refuge, take a close look at a bald eagle nest from the Parker Pool observation deck, or listen for the "winnowing" of Wilson’s snipe as they descend from the sky in courtship display. Visitors can also expect to hear the excited calls of the Franklin’s gulls from their large nesting colony in Agassiz Pool or as small groups sail overhead on foraging flights, as well as the familiar honks of Canada geese, and various melodies coming from upland habitats as migrating songbirds arrive at the Refuge. While a smorgasbord of birds is a given, lucky Refuge visitors get a glimpse of moose, bear, or wolves. There is never a dull moment in nature. You can experience all this activity not only as you drive towards Refuge headquarters along County Highway 7, but also along the Refuge's 4-mile long Lost Bay Habitat Drive which is now open starting May 1, 2020. The Habitat Drive offers opportunities for visitors to view a variety of wetland bird species, and the interpretive signage along the route provides detailed information about wildlife habitat, plant & animal species, management activities and much more. If you want to take in more of the fresh spring air, take a jaunt down one of the three hiking trails also available on the Refuge. Maakstad Hiking Trail is located along the auto drive, Headquarters Hiking Trail-located at the refuge headquarters, and Rodahl Trail-located by Farmes Pool. Whether in your car or on foot, you won’t be disappointed in the splendors of spring at Agassiz NWR. The Refuge Headquarters is located on Marshall County Road 7 (290th Street NE), 12 miles north of Thief River Falls on Highway 32 and 11 miles east of Holt. A sign along Minnesota Highway 1, three miles east of Thief River Falls, also guides visitors to the Refuge. Additional refuge information can be found at the kiosks located at both the west and east entrances to the refuge, and at the headquarters parking area. While we’re encouraging you to visit Agassiz, please keep in mind that due to the COVID-19 pandemic our Office/Visitor Center is closed, and the outdoor restrooms are also closed at this time. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is following federal, state and local public safety guidance, and making every effort to provide continued access to recreational opportunities on public lands. The health and safety of our visitors is our number one priority! We are all in this together! For more information about visiting Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge, visit our website at - https://www.fws.gov/refuge/Agassiz/, or contact Lynda Knutsen at lynda_knutsen@fws.gov, 218-689-2430.

Christmas Bird Count
2020-12-18 00:00 - 23:59
Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge staff invite you to participate in the Annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC) on Friday, December 18th. The National Audubon Society administers the Christmas Bird Count and this year marks the 121st year. This is the longest running citizen science bird project in the U.S. Counts are held in designated areas throughout the U.S., Canada and Latin America every year between Dec. 14thand Jan.5th. Information from the count provides important information on winter ranges of birds, population trends, and how changing climate alters winter bird distribution.The count area covers a 15-mile diameter circle that includes the cities of Newfolden, & Viking and areas in-between. Highlight species from last year’s count include bald eagle, northern shrike, rough-legged hawk, numerous sharp-tailed grouse and wild turkeys. Due to COVID-19, participants will count independently instead of going in groups as we did in the past. If you are interested in participating, a map of the count circle marked with an area for you to cover, along with a data sheet can be emailed, mailed or dropped off at a designated location for you. For more information, or to sign up, please call Lynda at 218-689-2430, or email lynda_knutsen@fws.gov by Wed., Dec. 16th. Not an avid birder? No worries. This is a perfect event for beginning bird watchers to “spread their wings”, become actively involved in wildlife viewing, and help out with an important survey. Completion of the CBC can be tailored to your interests, with as much or as little of the survey being done from a vehicle or on foot. People who live within the Newfolden Count Circle can even participate by reporting bird sightings at feeders from the comfort of their own home. Taking part in the Christmas Bird Count is a fun and meaningful way to spend a winter day. Hope you can join us. ##########################################################################################To learn more about Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge, visit us in person, or online at http:www.fws.gov/refuge/agassiz.

Birds: An Exhibit Featuring the Work of Ross Hier & Regional Artists
2021-03-02 08:30 - 2021-04-29 17:00 | Northland Community & Technical College
The Northwest Minnesota Arts Council (NWMAC) is pleased to announce Birds – An exhibit featuring the work of Ross Hier of Crookston, Stephanie Anderson of Fosston, Doug Dallman of Thief River Falls, Sherri Kruger of Badger, Zach Rowatt of Roseau, Travis Hanel of Warren, Ivy Baille of Fosston, Rock Bakken of Hallock, Betsy Saurdiff of Grygla, Kathryn Rynning of Kennedy, Janet Johnson of Roseau, Karen Monson of Plymouth, and Cindy Kolling of Gully.The exhibit is open from March 2 through April 29, 2021 at the NWMAC Gallery at Northland Community and Technical College in Thief River Falls. It includes paintings, stained glass mosaic sculpture, fiber and mixed media, bird houses, pen and ink, photography, pottery, chalk pastel, and watercolors. Like art, birds reveal a spot of beauty with their plumes and songs and allow us to escape the stressful and mundane. These artists have captured the simplicity, as well as the complexity of birds.The exhibit features a large body of work of Crookston Artist Ross Hier. Ross’s love of nature from a young age led him to a career as a wildlife biologist. He retired after 35 years with the Minnesota DNR Wildlife Section. A self-taught artist, he thoroughly enjoys the versatility of transparent watercolors. Nature provides him with unlimited subject material. Many of his subject ideas arose after observing some interaction in nature, landscape, or creatures. “I am drawn more to days when life wasn’t so driven by technology and was lived at a slower pace.“In 2019 Ross experienced “a wonderful birding expedition in Ecuador. I observed 33 species during my 13-day adventure and when I returned home, I set out on a personal project to paint all 33 of them. Thus far, I have completed 15 of those 33 species; these watercolors are on display at this exhibit. It is an extreme challenge to capture the vibrant, often neon-esque colors of hummingbirds with watercolor pigments. Also, mimicking blurred wing-movement is very difficult. I have learned much on the project and continue to revel in memories of the ‘amazing 33 species.’”You won’t want to miss this extensive and multifaceted exhibit! A number of these pieces are available for purchase. Please see our website for more information.The NWMAC Gallery is located at Northland Community and Technical College in Thief River Falls. The gallery hours are Monday-Friday from 8:30-5 PM and at other times when events are held at the college. Enter through Door A. Visitor parking is free and at this time in the large end lot.For more information about our exhibits look to our website at www.NWArtsCouncil.org, or if you are an artist interested in exhibiting a body of work with NWMAC, please contact Trey Everett at (218) 280-4917 or email NWArtsCouncil@gmail.com. This exhibit is made possible with funding from The McKnight Foundation. Please sign up for our e-newsletter on our website home page to see the latest news and grant announcements.

MSAA State 3D Archery Shoot
2021-08-07 08:00 - 2021-08-08 13:00 | 140th Ave NE, Thief River Falls, MN
3D (3-Dimensional) archery is widely popular in Minnesota, and the MSAA puts together one of the best 3D tournaments in the state. Like all MSAA tournaments, the State 3D travels from place to place and is hosted in Thief River Falls this year. The 3D is a tournament that features realistic hunting situations where full-sized animals are the targets, and offers the very best with regard to family archery entertainment, with camping facilities often situated nearby. 3D is an outdoor activity where a participant walks a course stopping at shooting stations to shoot at animals along lanes that vary in distance to the target. There are usually about 30 shooting stations, and an archer should come prepared to shoot at targets that are anywhere from 10 to 50 yards away. There are shooting markers placed at different distances depending upon the age division. At the MSAA 3D the first score that is shot is the official score, but an archer may return and shoot the course again. A benefit of shooting the MSAA State 3D is that memberships purchased at the event are not only good for the rest of the calendar year but also are good for the entire following year. Guests (non-MSAA members) are welcome at this tournament and do not have to join to shoot, although they will not be eligible for MSAA awards.The tournament format is known distances for ALL classes. Rangefinders are allowed.Find more information on the State 3D Tournament here: http://www.mnarchery.org/3-d-tournament.htmlDownload the event flyer here:http://bit.ly/2021msaastate3dflyer

Please join us for an Artist Reception with Betsy Saurdiff. Her work is featured in our exhibit at NCTC in Thief River Falls -- Celebrations: The Ceramic Art of Betsy Saurdiff.Artist Reception Saturday, February 12 from 3 to 5 pm at the Northwest Minnesota Arts Council Gallery atNCTC in Thief River Falls. The exhibit is open through February 28.Betsy Saurdiff lives in Grygla and studied Art and German at Bemidji State University and the University of Minnesota. Highlights of her career include two McKnight Fellowship Awards, two Merit Awards at the NW MN Arts Council exhibit and Art Advocate of the Year. She has sold her functional pottery at local businesses and art fairs. She recently retired from teaching and began selling her pottery online. You can find her at https://bettspottery.com/.Saurdiff shared, “I really enjoyed the challenge of creating a new body of work for the exhibit. I pushed myself to create more complex and technically challenging pieces. It was liberating to explore new forms such as the baskets, urns, punch bowl sets and decanter sets. I would give myself "assignments" to try the new forms and repeat them until I felt that I had mastered them somewhat. That's why there are multiples, often in different glaze colors. I limited myself to a few glaze combinations to unify the exhibit. In fact, the exhibit is organized primarily by color. My personal favorite is the "Red Wall! It was very gratifying to put up the exhibit and so fun to see it all come together. Thank you to the NW Minnesota Arts Council for this opportunity!”You won’t want to miss this pottery exhibit or the chance to meet Betsy at the Artist Reception.The NWMAC Gallery is located at Northland Community and Technical College in Thief River Falls.

There will be several pairs of adult and child size skis as well as snowshoes available for visitors to use free of charge on a first come, first served basis. Even though luminaries will be lit along the trails, we recommend that visitors bring a headlamp if they have one.Along one of the groomed and lighted trails, an owl calling station will be set up where the calls of several owl species (e.g., saw whet, barred, great horned) will be projected into the woods to try and generate a response from a resident owl or two. There will also be an owl education station and a black bear education table set up in different gazebos along the trails.The Visitor Center will be open throughout the event for warming up and refreshments will be provided, courtesy of the Friends of Rydell and Glacial Ridge Refuges Association.If on February 17th trail conditions lack snow for skiing or snowshoeing and the trails are not too icy, the event will be changed to a hike. If forecasted temperatures are below zero or wind chills in the double-digits below zero or the trails are too icy, the event will be canceled and potentially rescheduled for a later date.If you have questions or want more information, contact Larissa Fitzgerald at (571) 499-3880 or lafitzgerald10@gmail.com.
