Want to learn about film photography? Want to learn about birds?

No experience with birding or photography is necessary.

Join CBA and COS for this joint morning birding trip out to Crabtree Nature Center in Barrington. This destination is a favorite for many city birders who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle. The Forest Preserves of Cook County manages the property's prairies, woodlands, and wetlands that host 246 bird species throughout the year. This trip is designed to be a slow-paced, social bird outing.

Join Eugenio Calderon to learn about one of the similarities our city’s rodents and corvids share behaviorally: caching and scatter hoarding. The walk will start on the Nature Boardwalk’s viewing platform to hopefully observe beavers getting ready for winter. The group will then look for corvids to see if any crows or blue jays are caching food underground. Finally, the group will be looking at squirrels and collect data through Project Squirrel to think critically of the decision making process that goes behind caching or consuming an item.
