SUMMARY:Bird the Park: Greene Valley Forest Preserve\, Naperville
DESCRIPTION:This is a leaderless birding experience. You do not need to register. Bird on your own between the hours of 7 am and 10 am. The idea is you will bump into fellow birders as you make your way along the trail loop\, chat a little about what you are seeing\, then move on and hopefully run into another birder further along the trail. We will be focused on birding the grassland and woods of the White Oak Trail: park at the Thunderbird lot; the trail begins just east of the parking lot. You can hike the loop in either direction\, heading east or north. Greene Valley map. The entrance is located on the south side of 79th Street\, about 0.25 miles west of Greene Road.Organizer: Steve Constantelos\, steve.constantelos@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Lincoln Marsh\, Wheaton
DESCRIPTION:Pre-registration with the leader is required\, limit 15 participants. Lincoln Marsh Natural Area is located just northwest of downtown Wheaton. From County Farm Road\, go east on Harrison Street. Harrison ends in Lincoln Marsh’s parking lot. Two large marshes dominate the area. However\, there is a large oak woodland\, a small prairie\, and two small ponds. A variety of birds\, residents and migrants\, associated with such habitats can be seen here. The trails at Lincoln Marsh are generally excellent\, consisting mostly of wood chips and crushed limestone; boardwalks cross low areas\, and there are two floating boardwalks and bird blinds. A fuller description of the site can be found here.Leader: John Cebula\, 630-640-2721\, joceb2005@sbcglobal.net

SUMMARY:Bemis Woods South Forest Preserve (near Western Springs)
DESCRIPTION:Pre-registration with the leader is required\, limit 10 participants. The Bemis South Forest Preserve address is Ogden Ave\, west of Wolf Rd in Cook County\, IL 60558. Directions: From the East or West the entrance is on Ogden Avenue. Turn into the Forest Preserve between I-294 and Wolf Rd. Make the turn and drive to end near where the cul-du-sac is and park nearby. We will start the walk from the parking lot meeting in the open area on the right by the trail which leads to the bridge. Bring your own water and snacks. We will walk mostly on natural trails\, so hiking boots with solid treads are advised. Jeans or long pants are recommended to minimize any bug exposure. We can expect to see Woodpeckers\, Chickadees\, Nuthatches\, Wood-Pewees and other Flycatchers\, Buntings\, Vireos\, and other resident species; possibly we will get lucky with an early migrant. Mother Nature provides no guarantees. August is not as plentiful as peak spring and fall migration but we anticipate feathered locals strutting their stuff so we can enjoy a birdiful day communing with nature. The walk will be approximately 2 ½ to 3 hours.Leader: Alan Seelye-James\, for questions and time-sensitive matters\, call: 954-708-4804\, less urgent\, email: alan_seelyejames@yahoo.com (note the underscore ( _ ) between alan and seelyejames@yahoo.com.

SUMMARY:Bird Sit at McDowell Grove\, Naperville
DESCRIPTION:Pre-registration with the leader required\, limit 10. 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. Bring your folding lawn chairs\, binoculars\, and field guides. We will be birding at McDowell Grove and looking at any birds that come our way! Dress for the weather and bring bug spray (sitting\, we are easy targets for mosquitoes!) and drinking water.  \n\n\n\nLeader: Natalie McFaul\, natcatcher7@gmail.com
