Annual Spring Bird Count, Saturday, May 10

Hold the date and plan to participate in the 2025 Spring Bird Count (SBC) in DuPage County on Saturday, May 10. The SBC is held annually throughout Illinois around the first weekend in May and is intended to provide some information and data on early spring bird migration throughout Illinois. The SBC also is a great opportunity for birders of all skill levels to get out in the field and look for all those great and colorful spring migrants moving through northeastern Illinois. The DuPage Birding Club coordinates the spring count efforts in DuPage County, and last year we recorded 170 species on spring count day.

For information on participating, contact Joe Suchecki at dupagesbc@gmail.com.
