SATURDAY, APRIL 3: Prairie Chicken Viewing Celebrate the return of spring and the continuing return of the once plentiful chickens to Iowa. Join Central Iowa Sierrans for a chance to see and hear the now rare spectacle of the mating dance and booming calls of these birds at the Kellerton Preserve observation blind a little over an hour south of Des Moines. We will depart from the coffee house in Metro Market in Des Moines at 4 p.m. to drive down to the blind for viewing before sunset. Come to Metro Market at 3 p.m. if you wish to sample or purchase the locally and sustainably grown food and products sold there before we head out. Difficulty level: Easy. Contact Ginger at 253-0232 or [log in to unmask] to sign up.
