SUMMARY:Field Trip: An Evening of Birding at Lost Mound 5:30 to 9:30 PM
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nCarpool from the Forreston municipal lot on the south side of the village library along HWY 26 at 5:30 or meet the group in the parking area of the Fish and Wildlife office building (see directions below) at 6:30 p.m.\nJoin us as we travel along side sand prairies and sand savannas near the mighty Mississippi in search of birds in the Lost Mound Unit of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge just north of Savanna. Of primary interest will be the awesome courtship display of the Common Nighthawk, as well as vocalizations of both Eastern Whip-poor- wills and American Woodcocks. There will be enough time to observe many of the grassland species of songbirds as well.\n\n\n\nDirections for meeting at Lost Mound: Turn left to enter the refuge off of HWY 84, about 9 miles north of Savanna. After crossing railroad tracks, drive up the hill to the intersection and turn right. Drive about .5 mile and turn left into the parking area. There is a restroom in the parking area.\nWe’ll car-caravan from the parking lot traveling the paved roads and do little or no walking. The timing sequence will be songbirds, Common Nighthawk, American Woodcock and at the end, Whip-poor- wills. If you want to leave the caravan for an earlier departure you may do so.\nIf weather is questionable, call coordinator Mary Blackmore at 815-938-3204.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
