Birding @ Deere Dike Park

Pop-ups

10 people joined us for our pop-up field trip today at Deere Dike Park! We didn’t see as many birds as we had hoped, but we had a fun time. Highlights included Green Herons, a Spotted Sandpiper, Bald Eagles, Tree Swallows, and Purple Martins.

Here are photos of a couple of the birds we saw today:

We aim to schedule more pop-up field trips in the near future.

Birding @ Whitewater Canyon

We had a nice-sized group for our pop-up field trip yesterday at the Whitewater Canyon Wildlife Management Area. The warblers did not cooperate by showing up at the overlook, but we had an enjoyable morning!
