DuPage Birding Club will be partnering with the Conservation Foundation to lead a bird walk as part of the Take a Hike! Challenge. The walk will be held at St. James Farm Forest Preserve in Warrenville: https://maps.app.goo.gl/NvDRYmk3qqBPoUHh8. We will meet in the parking lot off Winfield Road and will traverse St. James Farm’s limestone trails at a leisurely pace, taking our time to identify tricky fall migrants. The walk will cover a couple miles over relatively flat terrain. Our targets will include fall warblers and other migrant species. New and experienced birders are always welcome.
