Join us for a bird walk and casual breakfast on Saturday, August 22nd at Blackwell Forest Preserve. All birders and potential birders are welcome! This is a wonderful time to get together and relive highlights of your summer birding experiences with others who share your interest in birding and the outdoors.  
The bird walk starts at 7:00 a.m. at the West Shelter located on the left side of the Main Drive south of the Mount Hoy Parking lot. Breakfast will follow at 9:00 a.m. and will consist of fresh fruit, bagels, donuts, juice, coffee, and more. You are welcome to come just for the walk or just for breakfast. Clean up is from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and, as usual, your help is always appreciated.
Blackwell Forest Preserve has a variety of habitats so you might just be able to pick up one more bird for your summer list, spot a new dragonfly or see a butterfly or two. The forest preserve is located on the north side of Butterfield Road, a quarter mile west of Winfield Road.
