Fall Migration-Grant Park, Chicago

Your Bird Feeder

Birds of prey enjoy the fall migration.

This guy swooped by me on Tuesday morning. Sparrows, warblers, thrushes, and finches all headed for cover.

25 Years Conducting Bird Walks

Your Bird Feeder

 

Congrats to Debbie Becker for conducting bird tours for 25 years. If you live in the area why not join her for a tour?

 

Every Saturday at 11 a.m. throughout most of the year, a few dozen people gather at the Reflecting Pool in the Leon Levy Visitor Center with binoculars and high hopes. They’ve come to go on a walk in search of the birds that live at the Botanical Garden either year-round or temporarily during migration periods.

Hawk Mountain Activities

Your Bird Feeder

 

This looks like a great place for bird watching. Get your hiking boots and bird watching binoculars and head to Hawk Mountain.

Hawk Mountain is a refuge for birds of prey. But what draws thousands of hikers there every fall is the fall migration. They have and maintain over eight miles of trails that take you to various lookouts.

GREAT OUTDOORS with Lisa Lightner
