The final Beginner Birder nature walk will start in the prairie just south of McCormick Place to check for early morning migrant birds, especially around the lovely limestone pool. We will head south along the lake shore to check for migrant birds on or over the water as well as for birds in the grasslands, groves and scrubby habitat. Nelson’s Sparrows are not uncommon in these prairies at this time. There may also be migrating Monarch Butterflies and various species of dragonflies.
Look for late fall migrants in Lincoln Park Zoo with Matt Igleski. Check back for details!

Tentative planning is in the works for the October 2017 Birds & Beers - Hawkwatch Editon, and under Adam Sell's guidance. We are looking to head back to Timothy O'Tooles Pub in Gurnee, the location of Birds & Beers - Hawkwatch Editon in 2014 and 2015. We are also looking to have our gathering it a bit later in the month, on the third Saturday of October instead of the second Saturday, hoping to hit a better hawkwatching weekend (always a crap shoot). It is always been our hope to get hawkwatchers to join us at Birds and Beers after a day or afternoon of hawkwatching in Lake County. See Birds and Beers facebook group for updates and map.
