Urban Birding Festival

The Urban Birding Festival brings together Chicago-area birders for a day of talks, workshops, and group outings centered on the region's bird diversity, all based out of the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum on Saturday, September 19. The $30 registration fee includes museum admission for the day, with keynote speakers and presentations scheduled throughout. Given the range of activities and multiple field-trip locations, the full schedule is worth checking on the museum's site in advance.
