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 should be fun as this is the time of year when birds begin their southern migration.
