This is extremely useful when working with dementia and rehab patients. Do you need help locating the best place for your feeders, birdhouse or outside accessories? We can help Birdscape your backyard/garden area to create a calming atmosphere at your home or facility. The Wildbird Shack is happy to host your community event. We can put together educational programs about backyard birding or birding in our preserves. We also host Style Your Own Bird House Events where guests craft their own bird houses.

We hope that you are enjoying a wonderful Labor Day! We are in the middle of migration. Have you seen any common nighthawks?

You're more likely to hear than see a Common Nighthawk, but getting to know these elusive nocturnal species is well worth the effort and can add a touch of avian mystery in your life. Learn how from Audubon magazine at the link in comments.

🌳🦆Techny Basin in Glenview is one of Alyse’s favorite birding hotspots. The view of the basin from the trail is outstanding!

This is an excellent spot to shorebirds and waterfowl amongst many others.

The trail is paved and easy to navigate. A number of various habitats make this quite a haven.

We spotted a black-crowned night heron on a recent visit!
