SUMMARY:Bemis Woods South Forest Preserve (Cook County)\, near Western Springs
DESCRIPTION:Preregistration via text or phone with the leader is required\, limit 10 people. Welcome to this wonderful nature spot. We will start the walk from the parking lot\, meeting in the open area. 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\, Nuthatch\, and have a good opportunity to see Fall migrants including American Redstarts\, Magnolia\, and Black-throated Green Warblers. The warblers in Fall plumage will be on their way south to Mexico and Central America to escape the cooler weather that this time of year brings. Please be prepared for the weather and bring your own water/snacks if you anticipate needing them. Entrance is on Ogden Ave west of Wolf Road and east of I-294. Make the turn and drive to the end near cul-du-sac.Leader: Alan Seelye-James (954)708-4804 or alan_seelyejames@yahoo.com (note underscore between alan_seelye)

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\, dbcsec2020@gmail.com
