SUMMARY:McKee Marsh at Blackwell Forest Preserve\, Warrenville
DESCRIPTION:DBC Planting day. Please join us to plant shrubs and saplings. The DBC is partnering with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County on a project to improve habitat for our forest birds. The Club provided a $2\,000 grant to the District to purchase native shrubs and saplings to plant in an area of McKee Marsh where nonnative\, invasive shrubs and trees were removed. Restoring the understory vegetation will improve the habitat for woodland nesting birds such as thrushes and warblers.Anyone can volunteer to help on this important and unique fall activity to improve bird habitat in DuPage County. Plan to volunteer with your fellow DuPage birders and give back to the Forest Preserves where we all bird every day. The more volunteers we have\, the easier and quicker the project will be.Contact Joe Suchecki at DBCsec2020@gmail.com by October 31 to volunteer.

SUMMARY:Hawkwatching 2.0; Greene Valley Scenic Overlook\, Woodridge
DESCRIPTION:Pre-register please\, it helps in determining the number of handouts needed. This is a 2nd opportunity for DBC birders unfamiliar with hawkwatching to learn techniques for spotting and identifying distant (hopefully some at close range too!) raptors as they fly by the hilltop. Briefing on techniques and handouts will be provided from the regulars at the Greene Valley Hawkwatch (our 17th year of operation from 9/1 through 11/30). Bring a scope if you have one.  \n\n\n\nDress warmly and bring extra layers – it’s always colder and windier up on the hilltop\, especially in late fall. We also hope to count gray ghosts\, witches on broomsticks and goblins\, migrating early in anticipation of next day’s celebration. \n\n\n\n The entrance to the scenic overlook is south of 75th St on Greene Road in Naperville/Woodridge\, past 79th St – the entrance to the road to the hilltop will be just south of the road level GV parking lot\, on the west side of Greene. Don’t arrive early; the hill doesn’t open to the public until 11 am.Leader: Bob Fisher\, 630 985 2956\, bfisher928@aol.com

DESCRIPTION:Pre-registration with the leader required\, limit 10 participants. This is a field trip for anyone who finds the long walks of our regular field trips too difficult or who would just like a less vigorous birding experience\, but still share the camaraderie of fellow birders.

NOTE: the entrance is on the WEST side of Powis Road north of Army Trail and south of Stearns Road.
