SUMMARY:Village Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Online registration is now closed for this event. Please call 773-248-8700 to register.\n\nCome join Village member David Baker for a late afternoon bird walk at Montrose Point.  We will welcome back the warblers and others that we saw in the Spring as they make their way from their nesting grounds in Wisconsin\, Minnesota and Canada and seek warmer climes for the winter.  It’s a fun challenge to identify the fledglings and the adults as their bright colors of spring are gone. We don’t call them “confusing fall warblers” for no reason.  We will meet at 4 pm at the entrance to Montrose and conclude by 5:30.  Wear appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes.  Bring your binoculars too.
