CANCELLED: Ducks-at-a-Distance Drop-in

  • Harborside Intl. Golf Center 11001 S Doty Ave Chicago, IL, 60633 United States (map)

Please note that this event has been cancelled due to poor weather. Be on the look out for this program to be rescheduled.

At the north end of Lake Calumet is the Harborside Marsh Pond, a waterfowl wonderland. With numerous species often present in hundreds, this area presents a unique opportunity to practice duck identification. COS will be setting up scopes on the south side of the clubhouse for folks to stop by and do a quick scan. We'll have experts there to help you identify birds at a distance and explain key features to be used to separate the species. Spotters will be there from 8:00-10:30. The clubhouse balcony is sheltered and you can warm up inside and buy warm drinks at the clubhouse restaurant.

Leader: Carl Giometti and Steve Huggins

RSVP not required. Please contact Carl (chicagiometti@gmail.com) or aerin tedesco (aerintedesco@gmail.com) with questions.
