Big Sit - Middlefork Farm Nature Preserve

  • Middlefork Farm Nature Preserve 1405 Middlefork Dr Lake Forest, IL, 60045 United States (map)

For this event, we let the birds come to us! Join birdwatchers throughout the day at a scenic spot in Middlefork Savanna to count birds and enjoy some birding camaraderie. LCAS and Lake Forest Open Lands invite you to drop in and spend some time with us as we participate in the annual Big Sit sponsored by the New Haven Birding Club. Bring a chair and of course some binoculars -- maybe a beverage or a sketchbook too! Spend as long or as short a time as you like helping spot birds from our prescribed circle overlooking one of Middlefork's bird-friendly ponds.

No registration required.
Park in the Middlefork lot and look for signs to direct you to the exact location on the day of the Sit. Please contact Charlotte Pavelka at cpavelka4@gmail.com if you would be interested in birding/working a two-hour shift as an official counter.
