Date: Saturday, October 2, 2021
Time: 8:00 am - 10:00 am
Location: Homewood Izaak Walton Preserve
Address: 1100 W. Ridge Road, Homewood, IL Map
Lakes, woodlands, ancient sand dunes, native prairie, and wetlands make up the 193 acres of this preserve. We’ll explore several habitat areas looking for fall migrants, lingering summer nesters, and year-round residents.
Meet in the parking lot next to the main meeting cabin. There is a porta potty at the parking lot. The walk is on natural surfaces (dirt trails and wood chip and gravel paths).
The bird walk is free and open to everyone. New birders are welcome! No registration required.
Leaders: Diane Hicks and Pat Andersen
