THE JUNE MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE NATURE CENTER - BUT YOU MUST RSVP!
Our fist meeting since the pandemic will be strictly limited to only 20 attendees. RSVP now to save your spot, walk-ins will not be allowed if we are already at capacity. To RSVP, email Megan Lomas.
JUNE BIRD CLUB MEETING - (tentative...dependent on Illinois entering Phase 4 before this date)
Tuesday, 6/30/2020, 6pm @ Nature Center
We can all travel the world with returning Bird Club presenter Paul Barding, whose excellent photography transports and amazes. This time he will lead us on a quest south looking for birds, in a presentation titled "Costa Rica and Trinidad & Tobago."

FALL BIRD WALKS
Thursdays, September & October, 8am @ Nature Center
Led by Bird Club member and expert birder James Ewing, the group walks the trails at a leisurely pace in search of everything from common backyard birds to those amazing migratory warblers. Open to birders of all experience levels! We understand if you need to duck out early to make another appointment. Donuts and hot drinks served at the end of the walk!
SEPTEMBER BIRD CLUB MEETING
Tuesday, 9/29/2020, 5pm @ Nature Center
PLEASE NOTE THE 5 PM START TIME THIS MONTH!
We'll hit the Douglas-Hart trails for a group bird walk to practice our skills and share sightings. The walk will be on flat surfaces at a slow pace and is highly accessible. Bring binoculars if you have them. If you're an amateur birder (like many of us!), this is the perfect way to see birds you'd never spot on your own. We'll see you there!
