Come one, come all to Morton Arboretum to start the new year right! Meet at the east side Visitor Center parking lot (far north end, by the troll and smashed car) where we will divide into groups. For non-members, the entrance fee is $15 per person, $13 for seniors 65+. Many of our members are also Arboretum members and have free passes, so if you could use one or you have one, please contact Kathy Mineck at kmineck@yahoo.com

MOVED TO SUNDAY - Jan 12 due to weather. Join Bob Fisher and check various locations for raptors, gulls, waterfowl and owls. Meet at the McDonalds in Coal City at the SE corner of Hwy 113 and Broadway. Dress warmly since we will likely be standing in one exposed location as the sun sets. Pre-registration is required; limit 15. Trip may be cancelled in the event of bad weather. Contact Bob to register. Leader: Bob Fisher, bfisher928@aol.com

This will be a walk for new birders. We will walk slowly and allow time for all to look at the birds. We will walk along the Salt Creek in the lowland woods with good habitat for birds. Meet at the main parking lot on Spring Rd. in Oak Brook. Leader: Nancy Allured, nallured@dupagebirding.org

Meet in the west parking lot for Waterfall Glen FP, Lemont Rd. and 101st St. We can carpool from there. We will travel downstream along the Des Plaines River looking for waterfowl. The trip will end in the Channahon area. We will stop for lunch along the way. A scope would be helpful, but not necessary. Hope to be back mid-afternoon.
