WCAS Chapter waterfowl hike at Whalon Lake (Royce Rd, Naperville, IL 60565). This spot is an up-and-coming hotspot for winter waterfowl and gulls. It’s also a known spot for Merlins during the colder months. We will scope the lake and take a short hike around the preserve on the paved bikeway. It is often chilly and windy at Whalon, so please dress appropriately. 

Registration not required. Guided hike is free and open to the public. If you have any questions about this event, please email WCAS Field Trip Chair Kara Morales at karamorales727@gmail.com
