Clean out the ear wax and review your bird calls; we are going to be birding by sound! Up to 70% of bird surveying during migration is done by recognizing a bird call. This program is geared toward the blind and visually impaired as we will be birding by sound only. The Forest Preserve is partnering with Birdability(Opens in a new window) during Birdability Week to ensure the birding community and the outdoors are welcoming, inclusive, safe and accessible for everybody because birding is for everybody. Registration required by Thursday, Oct. 15: 815-722-9879.https://anc.apm.activecommunities.com/fpdwc/activity/search/detail/10233?onlineSiteId=0&from_original_cui=true
