Join Lake County Audubon Society (LCAS) for a Big Day Bird Walk at Van Patten Woods on Sunday, May 4 @ 7:00 AM. We are partnering with Lake County Forest Preserves District (LCFPD) as part of a Des Plaines River bird blitz that morning, with Van Patten Woods one of seven locations hosting bird walks. Early May is a great time to get outside and enjoy the many migrating birds moving through our region.

 Matt Tobin is leading the walk at Van Patten for LCAS/LCFPD. The registration link and specific details for this walk are available through the LCFPD website:
