About the event

Where: We will meet at the IWLA Des Plaines Chapter house

What we will do: Walk the trails on the property, listen for birds, and learn to use the Merlin birdwatching app from Cornell University.

What to bring: Binoculars, a smartphone, and good walking shoes

What to expect: Who knows, but this should be fun as this is the time of year when birds begin their migration.  We'll have coffee and donuts afterward.
