Bird Walks, Gillson Park, Wilmette, Sundays in May.

The Illinois shoreline juts farthest into Lake Michigan at Gillson Park, making it an excellent spot to observe warblers and other migrant birds as they rest and eat during their long journey north every spring. Beginners and experienced birders of all ages are welcome to join the free, annual May bird walks sponsored by Go Green Wilmette and the Wilmette Park District. Meet other bird enthusiasts at the top of the Wallace Bowl near the Lakeview Center for self-guided walks.  Don’t forget your binoculars and bird books.
