Bird the Park: Hidden Lake, Downers Grove

This is a leaderless birding experience, you do not need to sign up with the organizer. You will bird on your own between the hours of 7 am and 10 am. The idea is you will “bump” into fellow birders as you make your way along the trail loop, chat a little about what you are seeing, then move on and hopefully run into another birder further along the trail. You can start at 7 or sleep in and start at 8 or even 9! Dress for the weather, bring bug spray and water. The route we will bird is as follows: starting at the North parking lot follow the Round Meadow Lake trail to the Eagle Trail loop. Complete the Eagle Trail loop then return back to the Round Lake Trail, complete it back to the parking lot. As always you can hike the loop in either direction. Hidden Lake is located on the east side of Route 53 0.25 mile south of Butterfield Road. Hidden Lake Website
