Join CBA board member and trip leader Woody Goss for these special migratory waterbird events at Steelworkers Park!

Lake watching is a particular style of birding that can involve fleeting experiences of fast-flying birds both near and far, including large numbers of migrants not seen on land. October is a great month for dabbling ducks like northern pintail and green-winged teal, as well as diving ducks like Scaups and all three Scoter species. It’s also a good month to catch migratory gulls, such as Bonaparte's, as well as terns such as Forster’s and common terns, and a smattering of shorebirds species. Horned grebe and red-throated loon flybys are possible. As always in the fall migration period, anything rare could show up!

A spotting scope for the group will be provided, but feel free to bring one if you have it.

Registration is required.

Meeting Spot: Turn east onto 87th Street off S. DuSable Lake Shore Drive and follow it all the way east until it ends. You will see the parking lot there.
