Pine
Dunes Forest Preserve, Antioch
The
rolling topography of this preserve is filled with multiple wetlands, making it
a magnet for migrating waterfowl and reclusive marsh residents like Wilson’s
Snipe. The large open space can also offer great views of migrating raptors,
and special late October sightings over the last few years have included Purple
Finch, American Pipit, Snow Bunting and Northern Saw-whet Owl.
Directions: From US-41 N, exit
west on IL-173, drive 1.5 miles to Hunt Club Rd., turn north. Preserve is on
the east side. We will meet in the main lot.
Leader: Nancy Tikalsky
