Invitation to Attend NW Illinois Audubon Birding Trip
April 6 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Join us as we look for migrating waterfowl on the Mississippi River south of Savanna. Usually a wide variety of both diving and dabbling ducks can be observed, with males in their colorful breeding plumage. We also should see grebes, pelicans, eagles, geese and some songbirds. Hopefully we’ll spot some cranes and swans, as well.
Participants will be coming from Forreston, IL and others can meet at Spring Lake parking lot, just off HWY 84 about 2 miles south of Savanna. The birding will begin at Spring Lake and there will be other stops along the Mississippi River, ending at the Lock and Dam #13. Bring a sack lunch and drink if you plan to stay past noon.
Or go birding on your own! This map and list show the general location of popular places to view migrating waterfowl. If going on your own, remember that the ducks move around, so you may want to plan to go to more than one location. And don’t forget your binoculars!
