Woodpeckers and Other Wintering Birds at Salt Creek Woods

  • Salt Creek Woods United States (map)

Join us for a walk at Salt Creek Woods, a nature preserve in west-central Cook County. The preserve hosts several acres of woodland habitat and a small prairie, with Salt Creek running through.  The habitat diversity of this location makes it a great place to find a wide variety of birds. In particular, it is one of the best places in this part of the county to find all seven woodpecker species including Red-headed & Pileated. The walk will be about 3 miles on earthen trails and paved bike trails. 

Registration is required and limited to 10 participants due to parking restraints.
