A Year of the Nighthawk Program

In Person Program

Wielding arguably one of the coolest bird names, the Common Nighthawk is the seldom seen resident quietly saving summer nights in Chicago by devouring bugs from dusk till dawn. But this good neighbor is rapidly becoming less common in the skies of Chicago and no one really knows why. Join COS and the Windy City Bird Lab for a program all about these mysterious birds; what makes them tick, why are they disappearing, and what's being done to save them right here in Chicago.

All are welcome to attend this free event but RSVP is required.
