After Work Bird Walk at North Pond

  • North Pond Gazebo 2798 N Stockton Dr Chicago, IL, 60614 United States (map)

Join COS for an afternoon walk as we decompress from a long day at work and look for birds at Lincoln Park's North Pond. We'll make our way at a leisurely pace around the pond in search of any ducks, herons, and migrants hanging around and wrap up with plenty of time for dinner. Beginning birders welcome and loaner binoculars will be available.
