SUMMARY:Springbrook Prairie Forest Preserve\, Naperville
DESCRIPTION:Pre-registration with the leader is required by email please\, limit 15 participants. Join Joe Suchecki for our annual club fall trip to locate Nelson’s and LeConte’s sparrows at Springbrook Prairie. We also will be looking for other late migrant species of the wetlands and grasslands. This trip requires that we go off-trail through uneven terrain\, so this is not for those who want/need to stay on wide\, flat groomed trails. The vegetation and footing will likely be wet as we walk along the edge of wetlands looking for the sparrows\, so rubber boots are recommended. Meet at the Model Aircraft Field Parking Lot on the west side of Plainfield-Naperville Road south of 75th St. Leader: Joe Suchecki\, jsuchecki@dupagebirding.org

SUMMARY:Bird the Park: Fullersburg Woods\, Oak Brook
DESCRIPTION:This is a leaderless birding experience; you do not need to sign up with the organizer. You will 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\, chat a little about what you are seeing\, then move on and hopefully run into another birder further along the trail. You can start at 7 or sleep in and start at 8 or even 9! We will follow the Riverbend trail. This  trail is a loop and starts at the main parking lot by the visitor’s center. You can walk the loop in either direction. Map The main entrance is at 3609 Spring Road\, 1 mile south of 31st Street and 0.25 mile north of Ogden Avenue. Do not use the Graue Mill parking lot on York Road.  Fullersburg Woods Website Dress for the weather\, bring bug spray and water.
