Join Eugenio Calderon on an Owl Prowl to look for Short-eared Owls, which is a species of migratory owl that has regularly shown up in Park 566 in the past every winter. Afterwards, see waterfowl on the harbor between Park 566 and Steelworkers as they start arriving and settling for the winter.

Chicago Bird Alliance has hosted walks at Jackson Park every Saturday, year ‘round (weather permitting), for over 50 years! We traverse a distance of about two miles, walking through Wooded Island and Bobolink Meadow. The walks are free and open to all, and newcomers are warmly welcomed.

Join Holly Greenberg at the Chicago Architecture Center for this crowdsourced environmental art project: craft a bird replica for the 300-foot carpet representing birds killed in window collisions in Chicago, and learn how to make your windows bird-friendly. This workshop is preceded by a tour of Flyway City: Architecture for a Flourishing Ecosystem. Free with registration.

Celebrate America Recycles Day, and help support migratory birds this fall, by helping to pick up litter and remove invasive plants at Deadstick Pond on Sunday, November 15, from 9am-12pm CT. All ages and experience levels are welcome at this free, family-friendly volunteer event, which will take place outdoors.
