Field Trip Leader Signup

Help others discover the joy of birding as a Chicago Bird Alliance field trip leader! You don’t have to be an expert birder to lead a trip. Simply knowing a local park, trail, or natural area is enough.

Please complete the below form and CBA will be in touch to confirm details. When choosing a date please consider what existing events are on the calendar (see below), as we try to spread out trips as much as possible.

Each trip should have its own individual submission. If suggesting a recurring event at the same location, indicate as such in the last box within this form.

Rodenticides and Birds

Rodenticides and Birds

Rodenticides kill owls and other raptors in our city. We’re working to stop that. Four famous owls have died this spring due to rodenticide poisoning: Flaco in New York City, and the entire beloved Great horned owl family in Lincoln Park. Willowbrook Wildlife Center has confirmed other raptor deaths due to rodenticide poisoning. Limiting the use of rodenticides would help our local hawks, eagles and owls to live longer lives.
