It's now October and the southern migration is well underway. Just reported is a very unusual Yellow Rail out at Sauer Farm. This place has produced some very good birds during our field trips and rambles - if you haven't been there, it is worth a trip. Two trips of note this month are to Fermi Lab and Burnidge Forest Preserve. Fall migrants (both waterfowl and land birds) may be observed. Check the website for details. KCA trip list for the year still has some holes in it that can be filled in during these fall trips - be there to help us fill in the gaps. Some of our members attended the Fall Fling of IAS and the dedication of the Adams House as the new headquarters. We must admit the building is impressive and thanks to the membership of IAS, the building could be built. KCA has its name on a plaque indicating that we have sent at least $1000 that came from our monthly raffle. If you haven't personally sent a donation for the IAS building fund, please consider doing so. Good birding, and enjoy the fall. |
