Join CBA as we venture to DuPage looking for shorebirds and nighthawks! On this trip we will meet at Wood Dale Reservoir,  DuPage County's premier shorebirding location about 2 hours before sunset. This will give us plenty of time to walk around the paved trails and check for migratory shorebirds like Least Sandpipers, Semipalmated Sandpipers, yellowlegs, among many others that might drop in during the evening hours. Then as the evening progresses we will stake out a location to watch migratory Common Nighthawks start to head south. 

Meet at 5:30pm at the Wood Dale Reservoir parking lot, at the end of School Street.

Trip Leader: Henry Meade

Registration is required and the trip will be limited to 12 participants. More information will be provided to registered attendees if/as needed.
