We'll be walking along the North shore channel trail starting at River Park looking for spring migrants and Chicago river denizen. We'll meet at the intersection of Argyle and Francisco, walk south a bit and then walk north to Foster and maybe beyond.

Leaders: Vinod Babu and Sammy Cabindol

Accessibility:
Total trip distance is approximately 2 miles and will take place mostly on wide paved, crushed-gravel, or wood-chip trails that are relatively level with minimal incline. We may leave the trail at times to walk through the grass for a better view of the birds. Any recent rain may create muddy conditions.

Restrooms are not available here.

Weather/Attire/Other:
Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Please bring bottled water. Dress for the weather. Based on the forecast, you may want to bring a hat and sunscreen. Loaner binoculars will be available.

Location and Transportation:
The exact meeting location will be emailed in advance to registrants. Free parking is available on the surrounding streets. Driving is recommended but the park is accessible by public transit via the 81 CTA bus.

Public Health:
Please bring a face mask with you. You may be asked to wear it as needed by the trip leader.
