In the final session, participants will become bird conservationists, sharing projects from the prior few weeks and polishing their identification of Chicago's most common birds.

Participants should bring binoculars, a notebook, and a field guide if they have one. Participants should meet outside the field housem dress for the weather, and be prepared for muddy feet.
