This area is one of Lake County's hottest birding spots and is home to many nesters such as least bitterns, sedge wrens, Henslow's and grasshopper sparrows, and bobolinks. There also may be early shorebirds.  Meet at 6:30 a.m. at the Washington Road parking area. The trip will last 4 hours and water and sun protection are good ideas. Leader: Beau Schaefer. 847-337-3602
