Why Birders Should Be Flocking to Wolf Road Prairie

Spring has sprung in the Chicagoland area and that means life on Wolf Road Prairie has started to stir once again. In particular, we have seen great signs of the bird population on the prairie.

Earlier this week, the amazing Northern Marsh Harrier was spotted–a rare sight over the wetlands of Wolf Road Prairie.

Also, be sure to join us for our Woodcock Spotting tours where as many as eight birds in one day have been observed.  If you are really lucky, you may even observe the woodcock courting dance.

So if you love birds, be sure to visit Wolf Road Prairie where you can spot these and many more wonderful birds!
