The Farms: Winter Bird Hikes

Experience Level: Beginners

Join Allerton Natural Areas staff for Winter Bird Hikes on Fridays, Jan. 3, Feb. 7 and March 7 from 9 to 11 a.m. Meet in the Main Parking Lot. If the starting location changes, participants will receive an email the day before. New location information will also be posted on the Allerton Park Bird Club Facebook page.

In the winter months the Park is home to six species of woodpeckers, four species of owls and a long list of other hardy winter species. This time of year is a great time to start learning about our local bird species!

A limited number of binoculars will be available on a first-come basis. At times the hikes will leave the trails, so dress accordingly.

$5/person. Register here. Hikes are free for Allerton Bird Club members. Join the Bird Club here. All sales are final. If a meeting location changes, registrants and bird club members will be notified by email.

If you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate, please email Nate Beccue at nbeccue@illinois.edu.

By attending, you consent to your image being used in Allerton marketing, social media and publications. Please alert the photographer or videographer if you do not want your image taken.
