Fall Bird Walk 2017

The September 24, 2017 start time was officially 8:00 AM and by about 8:05 we were on our way through the "wilds" of IBP.

It was a nice day (sunny, no rain), but according to Dave Willard, our fearless guide, the past week of warmer than usual temperatures (high 80's to mid 90's) have not been conducive to promoting the migration of birds through the Chicago area. So his expectations (and the resulting bird count) were relatively low for this date.
