Fermilab, Warrenville
Saturday, July 20 @ 7:30 AM – 10:00 AM
Pre-registration is required (please email), limit 10 participants.
Please note that Fermilab is a government research facility and has strict access requirements: All participants aged 18 and over must have a REAL-ID compliant state ID or passport to enter the site. When on site, must remain in public areas at all times, have a visitor’s tag visible, and leave the same way they came in. When arriving at Fermilab, present your ID and let the security guard know you are
here for bird watching, they will provide a visitors tag for you to wear. Full details on public access to Fermilab can be found HERE .
We will cover a variety of habitats while looking for summer residents but will focus on birds that favor shrubland and grassland. We will cover about 2 miles – mostly on wide, but occasionally uneven mown grass trails – as we walk a loop around the AE Sea Nature Area. Depending on time and interest, we may drive elsewhere within Fermilab. We will meet at the ‘Red Barn Area’ located at the end of Sauk Circle Google Map Link . If needed, Fermilab security can provide a site map and directions to this area when you arrive.
