ILYB Winter Birding: McHenry Dam, Moraine Hills SP, and Volo Bog
January 28, 2023 at 8:00 am11:00 am
Bundle up to look for wintering birds along the Fox River and nearby natural areas. Join ILYB as we look for birds along the river and other nearby State Natural Areas. Guest Field Trip Leader Lisa Maier will lead us around her patch to discover the birds and other wonders.
As many lakes and sections of rivers freeze over, birds seek out open sources of water in the winter. Areas with open moving water, like areas near dams, bends in rivers, or faster moving water, attract a variety of birds during the winter months.
Stop #1- McHenry Dam
