Winthrop Harbor, IL
USA
The polar vortex cancelled our January 18 trip here, but we’re back! We’ll start at the channel just north of Stateline Beach to look for the continuing Harlequin Duck – then we’ll check the water around the Winthrop Harbor Yacht Club and nearby areas for other winter waterfowl and landbirds. Birds and weather depending, we may make other stops nearby with options including Lyons Woods, Bowen Park, Waukegan Harbor/Beach and more – as well as a possible post- or mid-trip donut stop to warm up.
Bring scopes (and hand warmers!) if you have them.
Leader: Cici Birnberg (847) 945-8500
Directions: From Sheridan Road/Route 137 turn east on 7th Street. Follow 7th street toward the North Point Marina. At the stop sign, turn left and follow the road all the way to the end. Then turn right (toward the lake) and park in the Stateline Beach parking lot.
Please register for the Winter Waterfowl trip here so that we can get a head count and contact you in the event of a date change due to weather conditions.
