Birding Around Kankakee
Join us for a birding experience across Kankakee County, led by local experts! This event is designed to showcase the region’s diverse habitats and spring migration activity.
- May 14 at 8:00 a.m. David Hoekman will guide participants through Aroma Land and Water Preserve (1578 S. Heiland Rd, St Anne, IL 60964). This site offers a rich mix of wetland and woodland habitat, where attendees may spot woodpeckers, water birds, and a variety of migrating songbirds.
- May 16 at 8:00 a.m. Join us at Gar Creek (553 River Rd, Kankakee, IL 60901), led by Madison Burling, president of the Audubon Society. This second outing offers another opportunity to explore local bird populations while learning from an experienced conservation leader.
Whether you attend one event or both, join us as we connect with nature, build your birding skills, and experience the beauty of Kankakee County’s spring migration season!
