Join Joe Suchecki for our annual club fall trip to locate Nelson’s and LeConte’s sparrows at Springbrook Prairie.

SUMMARY:Danada West\, Wheaton
DESCRIPTION:Pre-registration with the leader required\, limit 12 participants.September is easily one of the best months of the year to see migrating species in DuPage County. On this trip we will mainly be focusing on finding migrant warblers\, along with raptors and possibly some earlier returning fall and winter residents\, such as white-crowned sparrows. The diverse habitat at Danada West always provides the chance to find something unusual as well\, so we’ll keep a lookout for rarer species. Meet in the forest preserve parking lot.Leader: Henry Meade\, kathleenreeves22@yahoo.com
