Registration with the leader is required. Limit 10 participants. Registration for nonmembers opens on October 1. Springbrook Prairie Fall Sparrow Trip. Join Joe Suchecki at Springbrook Prairie in Naperville to look for fall sparrows and other migrants. Targets for the trip include Nelson's and LeConte's sparrows. We will search along wetland areas for these elusive sparrows and will go off trail through some wetter areas, so waterproof footwear is recommended. Use insect repellent for ticks and mosquitos. Meet at the Main Parking Lot on 83rd Street between Route 59 and Book Road. Leader: Joe Suchecki, dbcsec2020@gmail.com, (630) 842-4921

Registration with the leader is required. Limit 10 participants. Registration for nonmembers opens on October 1. Our targets will primarily be southbound warblers, but we’ll be exploring Lyman in detail and trying to find as much as possible in the heart of fall migration. Expect a longer walk than typical. Lyman’s trails are almost always muddy regardless of the weather. If rain occurs ahead of the trip, expect areas with standing water. Be prepared with appropriate footwear and bring bug/tick spray. Meet at the parking lot on 31st Street. Leader: Matt Crisler, crislermj@gmail.com
