Time: 11 am Friday – Optional Return Times on Saturday or Sunday
Plan: Head to Loess Bluffs. Arrive at the refuge at around 3:30 pm. Bird until ½ hour after the sun sets at 6:05 pm. Eat at Señor Barrigas. The following morning the sun rises at Loess Bluffs at around 7 am. We will meet at the refuge and bird as long as we want. Some may wish to head back that afternoon or evening or stay until Sunday.

Other: Only 5 minutes away in Mound City, there is a very good Mexican restaurant called Senor Barrigos. We will make reservations for those who wish to join in a festive dinner Friday evening. There are some good options on Airbnbs in the area. There are only two hotels in Mound City. St. Joseph, Missouri is 30-40 minutes away, but it has many more options. As the weather can be unpredictable in February, Laura HIGHLY RECOMMENDS YOU BOOK LODGING AHEAD OF TIME. MAKE SURE THE HOTEL HAS A CANCELLATION POLICY (DO NOT USE PREPAID TRAVEL SITES).
