Hope you can join us to look for migrating passerines and waterfowl along with resident and lingering summer birds. We’ll walk by marshland, open water, grassy areas, and wooded sections. On our mid-September bird walk here last year, the group tallied 42 species, from waterfowl and waders to warblers and raptures. Full eBird Checklist.
We’ll meet in the parking lot for the South Suburban Humane Society facility at 21800 Central Avenue. Map.
The bird hike is on a paved path.
The bird walk is free and open to everyone. New birders are welcome! No registration required.
