Join us for a spring migration walk at Park 566! This uniquely urban habitat is host to countless migratory birds and one of the best places in Chicago to observe grassland birds, raptors, waterfowl, and many other species on their journey north. Beginning birders welcome.

Leaders: Dan Lory

No RSVP required. Please contact chicagobirder@gmail.com with any questions.

Accessibility:
Total trip distance is approximately 3 miles and will take place mostly on wide, semi-paved trails that are relatively level with minimal incline. Any recent rain may create muddy conditions.

Restrooms are not available here.

Weather/Attire/Other:
Comfortable walking shoes or boots are recommended. Please bring a water bottle. Dress for the weather; hats, gloves, and layers are highly encouraged as the park is particularly exposed to lakefront winds.
