Conservation Guardians of Northwest Illinois

Birding Programs

Field Observation, Bluebird Recovery

The Conservation Guardians offer numerous opportunities for birders of all levels of experience, from novice to expert. Everyone is welcome to join us.

  • Thursday Field Trips
    Many birders look forward to our field trips on Thursdays during spring and fall migratory seasons. The birders usually meet at 9 AM and have lunch together before they are through for the day.
    How to join us: contact Barb Rutherford if you'd like your name added to the birders' email distribution, which provides meeting place each week.
  • Bird Counting Events
    Whether it's the springtime count in May or the Audubon count in December, these events are remarkably enjoyable means for applying and sharpening identification skills.
  • Bluebird Recovery Program
    Significant efforts by our members have enabled a dramatic increase in the bluebird population of northwest Illinois.

Please check our Events Calendar for information about other birding events that we may sponsor.
