Activity Level: Moderate, Walk 3 miles

Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve, on the shore of Lake Michigan, is a great location for migrating warblers in wooded areas, sparrows in the extensive grasslands and migrating hawks soaring overhead. Sparrows are the real highlight with twenty species, including specialties like Nelson’s, Vesper and Harris being seen most years in October.

Stay after the walk to join in the hawkwatch which takes place through the fall months.

Directions and parking instructions are included in registration link below.
