DESCRIPTION:Tuesday, September 8, 2026\n\n\n\n\nIt’s hard to beat Waukega
 n Beach in September.  Shorebirds are moving through in good numbers and m
 igrant warblers begin to reach their peak.  We will spend the morning bird
 ing the beach, swales, and wooded lots of the Waukegan Beach area.  On t
 he beach, we will be targeting\n\n\nmigrant shorebirds, where a good mor
 ning could include Baird’s and Semipalmated Sandpipers, Sanderling, and 
 others.  In previous years, more specialties have shown up including Whim
 brel and Buff-breasted Sandpiper, so we will be ever-vigilant.  In the sw
 ales, we will keep our eyes peeled for early waterfowl and lingering Leas
 t Bitterns which breed amongst the reeds.  In the wooded lots and beachfro
 nt park, migrant warblers can be abundant on the right day, and we hope 
 to find Blackpoll, Bay-breasted, Blackburnian, Wilson’s and Magnolia Wa
 rblers among the 20+ that could be present.  We will be hiking the beach a
 nd wooded lots, which will total around 1-2 miles of walking at a birder’
 s pace. The Leader will have a scope, but if you enjoy carrying your own\
 , you are more than welcome to bring one. Hiking boots or sneakers are bot
 h appropriate for this walk,\n\n\nbut please be prepared for walking on s
 and.  Duration: ~3 hours\n\n\n \n\n\nMeet at 7:30 a.m. , see pin at https

 ration is required and space is limited to 12 participants. Register\n\n\n
