DBC Book Club to Read Kingbird Highway
The DBC Book Club’s next read is Kingbird Highway: The Biggest Year in the Life of an Extreme Birder, the much-praised account by Kenn Kaufmann of his yearlong “Big Year” adventure as a teenager exploring America in the ’70s. A unique coming of age story, the memoir recounts how the “thrill of the chase” evolved into a quest to connect with nature on a deeper level. The book club will meet June 10.

The Great Backyard Bird Count, sponsored by Cornell Labs and Birds Canada, invites you to sit back with a hot cup of Joe in your snuggly slippers and count the birds you see in your own backyard. Over the four days of the count, spend at least 15 minutes on one day to record what you see happening out your window. Share your Merlin Bird ID(s), eBird checklist(s), or photos, […]
The Year in Birds: A Look Back at 2024’s Birding Highlights
As many of you know, DBC’s own Jeff Reiter authors the popular Words on Birds column in the Daily Herald. Jeff’s fun end-of-year review captures 2024’s important local conservation successes and birding highlights. The latter included about a dozen rare bird sightings within DuPage County, including a very cooperative Sage Thrasher at Hidden Lake who stayed on sight for days, which prompted then President Robert Perez to ask members whether there was anyone in the room who hadn’t seen the Thrasher!

Finally, It’s Official: The Bald Eagle Is America’s National Bird
Most everyone recognizes the Bald Eagle as America’s national bird. It first appeared in 1782 on the Great Seal, a symbol of American strength and sovereignty as a nation. But the fact is that it just officially became our national bird on Christmas Eve 2024, when President Biden signed a bipartisan bill designating the Bald Eagle as the official bird of the United States. We can all heartily endorse this acknowledgment, notwithstanding one of our forefather’s objections-Ben Franklin thought the Bald Eagle was “a bird of bad moral character” since it is known to steal food from other birds. Franklin […]
