Birds of Midewin Part 2 webinar

Learn why so many people consider Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie a haven for birdwatchers. Volunteers, partners and staff are working with over 275 species of native Illinois prairie plants to increase and expand natural habitat for grassland birds and other important pollinators. The restoration process seems to be working: Sightings of short-eared owls to bobolinks, Henslow’s sparrows, dickcissels and more are why so many consider Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie a haven for birdwatchers. Illinois Audubon Society Vice President and Midewin NTP Volunteer Greg DuBois will provide information about the birds that you might see at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie and the best times and places to look for them.
