Register to join an expert birder from Red Hill Birding for a fall migration bird walk at Gillson Park!
Fall is a favorite time of year for Chicago-area birders, as migrating birds are pouring through. You will look for a variety of migrant and resident birds, learn all about migration and the birds you see, and be able to ask all of your burning bird-related questions. Our walk will be slow-paced and educational, and hopefully we will see lots of birds. While not mandatory, please bring binoculars if you have them. The event will take place in light rain or shine and be rescheduled in case of severe weather.

Exact meeting location and details will be emailed to registrants.
