In 2024, Lake County Audubon Society is sponsoring a new program to get folks out to see their local birding hotspots. Bird Lake County will feature a Lake County location each month for you to either bird on your own or with us on a group walk.

It’s the time of year again for the next Open Space Celebration, hosted by the Green Corridor Coalition.
Join us on Sunday, Oct. 15, 2023, as we celebrate beautiful Lake County’s protected Open Space.

A recent newsletter from our friends at Environment for the Americas included these great tips on celebrating a bird and wildlife-safe Halloween!

Lake County Audubon Society’s Sharing Our Shore-Waukegan (SOS-W) program partnered with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to ensure the survival of four Piping Plover chicks released at Illinois Beach State Park. SOS-W volunteers have been monitoring the beach since their release.
