Springbrook Forest Preserve, Naperville

Pre-registration with the leader is required, limit 15 participants. You are not registered unless you receive confirmation from the trip leader. Meet at the main parking lot for Springbrook Prairie on 83rd Street between Route 59 and Book Road.  This will be a field trip to look for grassland birds that nest at Springbrook such as Eastern Meadowlark, Bobolink, Henslow’s Sparrow, Sedge Wren, and Dickcissel. Possibility for Grasshopper Sparrow as well.  We will be going off-trail and walking in uneven terrain so wear appropriate footwear and long pants.  Bring and use insect repellent – there are many ticks at this time of year at Springbrook.
