The arrival of spring waterfowl is the first sign of spring for local birders as loons, pelicans and multiple duck species drop into Lake County lakes on the way north to their breeding grounds. Lake/Cook’s annual multi-stop spring waterfowl trip begins at Diamond Lake in Mundelein, with additional stops and directions that will be provided at Diamond Lake based on our scouting to find the most productive sites. You can leave at any time but try to stay until mid-morning because one of the highlights is a stop at the north end of our route that is usually filled with dozens of Common Loons and American White Pelicans.

Dress warm and bring scopes if you have them. Carpooling is optional when we meet at Diamond Lake.

Directions: Meet at Gale Street Inn parking lot, 935 N. Diamond Lake Rd., Mundelein.
