Join CAS for a morning bird walk at Steelworkers Park in south Chicago!

Previously part of the US Steel Complex known as South Works, Steelworkers Park was recently transformed into an attractive landscape with natural areas, trees, walking paths and exquisite views of Lake Michigan. It is also considered an “under-birded” area.

On this walk we can expect to see early migrants, potentially including robins, blackbirds, geese and waterfowl.

Trip Leaders: Woody Goss & Brooke Wetmore

Time: 8:00AM – 10:00AM

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.
