The Walks are free and open to one and all. Newcomers are warmly welcomed. Please wear masks if you have not been fully vaccinated and respect everyone’s physical distance.
Bring binoculars, field guides, and dress for the weather.
We cover a distance of two miles, walking through Wooded Island and Bobolink Meadow. In the winter we also drive to the Outer Harbor near La Rabida Hospital to check the lakefront and the harbor for wintering ducks.
We meet on the west side of the Columbia Basin (north lagoon) at 8:00am. Park on Stony Island, near 59th street, walk east across the parkland area, then cross Cornell Drive to reach the spot. Here's a map, with the meeting spot highlighted in yellow.
You do not need to be a member of Chicago Audubon to participate.
