We’ll check the grassland area for Meadowlarks, Dickcissels, and sparrows, including Henslows. In the wooded area, we’ll look for in-coming summer nesters and migrants - cuckoos, warblers, vireos, flycatchers, woodpeckers, and more.
Meet in the parking lot. The trails are a mix of natural surfaces (dirt, wood chips, and mowed turf trails). There is a porta-potty next to the parking area.
.Leader: Eric Myers
