Join COS for an early owl prowl at Park 566. We will look for owls of all kinds but will focus on finding Short-eared Owls that are seen there frequently. Beginning birders welcome and loaner binoculars will be available.

Leader: Edward Warden

Pre-registration is required. Please contact Edward (edwarhzan@gmail.com) at least 24 hours in advance if you cannot attend or with questions.

Accessibility:
Total trip distance is approximately 1.5 miles and will take place mostly on wide paved, crushed-gravel, or wood-chip trails that are relatively level with minimal incline. Any recent rain may create muddy conditions.

Restrooms are not available here.

Weather/Attire/Other:
Comfortable walking shoes or boots are recommended. Please bring a water bottle. Dress for the weather; hats, gloves, and layers are highly encouraged as the park is particularly exposed to lakefront winds.

The exact meeting location will be emailed in advance to registrants. Free parking is available on the street. Park 566 is accessible by public transit via the #6 and #79 CTA busses.

Respiratory Illness Precautions:

COS supports the decision of individual trip participants to wear masks.
