  • Fountain of Time 6000 South Cottage Grove Avenue Chicago, IL, 60637 United States (map)

Join us for a special Saturday morning bird walk on World Migratory Bird Day in the Hyde Park neighborhood’s Washington Park!

Washington Park: Designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, Washington Park contains 35.7 acres of prairie, wetlands and lagoons. Its many habitat types attract a wide variety of bird species.

Meeting Spot: The group will meet at the Fountain of Time, located on the southeast corner of Washington Park. There is plentiful street parking nearby on Payne Drive.

Accessibility: We will travel ~2 miles on unpaved and paved trails (mostly flat). There are benches along the path. The natural areas are distant from traffic & noises and do not experience high crowd volume.

Trip Leaders: Jackie Smith (Washington Park land steward), Lilli Holden (2024 Black Birders’ Week organizer), and Sunshine Soledá de Vries (CBA VP)

Limit: Registration is required.
