SUMMARY:Lyman Woods Big Morning\, Downers Grove
DESCRIPTION:Registration with the leader is required. Limit 10 participants. Registration for nonmembers opens on May 1.Join us for an extended outing where we’ll attempt to rack up as many species as possible at Lyman Woods in one morning! Think you can help us beat last year’s score of 65 species? This will be a long outing\, and we’ll go until we run out of birds to find (the end time is a best guess and not firm).  Meet at the parking lot on 31st Street. Lyman’s trails are almost always muddy regardless of weather. If rain occurs ahead of the trip\, expect areas with standing water. Be prepared with appropriate footwear.https://maps.app.goo.gl/j9GZWCC2SPn2zvbK6Leader: Matt Crisler\, crislermj@gmail.com
