This former farmland was preserved as open space in the 1960s and restored by the Lake County Forest Preserves over the years, leaving a blend of marsh, woodland, prairie and grassland habitats that can yield 40-50 species on a good day in late April. eBird reports at the same time last year included a nice selection of early sparrows, warblers, orioles and other landbird migrants.

Directions: Cuba Marsh is located at 24205 W Cuba Rd. Take Lake Cook Rd. west, turn north on Ela Rd. and west on Cuba Road to the preserve parking lot.

Leaders: Wanda Supanich 224-433-1675 and Maureen Marsh 352-317-5130
