Primary Menu Illinois Birding Network (Facebook) IL Rare Bird Alert (Facebook) Illinois Birding Map Illinois Ornithological Society IBET Contact Search for: Welcome Welcome to This is a crowd-sourced, wiki-style” experiment in creating a bird-finding guide. By having local editors contribute the site entries, and the the birding public at-large input as well, we hope to build an ever-growing guide to birding Illinois. Using this site is simple. You can browse by county by clicking on the county links in the left sidebar, or you can search by species using the search field directly above the county listing. You can also browse species via the tag cloud in the right sidebar (the more a species is tagged, the larger the type), or by the most popular entries above that. Comments Note that below each entry you can leave a comment. This can be a powerful tool in keeping the information as up to date as possible. If you’ve been out birding at one of the locations and found that the habitat has changed, or a bridge is out, or that a target species has moved a mile down the road … whatever you think might be useful to others: leave a comment, please. Illinois Birding Map Another part of this project is the Illinois Birding Map . Eventually, every point on the map will have an entry at this site, with links between them: Recent additions… Evergreen Lake (Comlara Park) February 26, 2017 Oliver Road January 16, 2017 Carl & Myrna Nygren Wetland January 16, 2017 Lake Summerset January 16, 2017 Blackhawk Park January 16, 2017 The Cloud … Bald Eagle Barred Owl Bell’s Vireo Black-billed Cuckoo Blue-winged Warbler Blue Grosbeak Bobolink Broad-winged Hawk Cackling Goose Carolina Wren Cerulean Warbler Common Redpoll Dickcissel Forster’s Tern Grasshopper Sparrow Henslow’s Sparrow Hooded Warbler Iceland Gull Kentucky Warbler Least Bittern Lesser Black-backed Gull Louisiana Waterthrush Nelson’s Sparrow Northern Harrier Northern Parula Orchard Oriole Pied-billed Grebe Pileated Woodpecker Red-headed Woodpecker Red-shouldered Hawk Red Crossbill Savannah Sparrow Sedge Wren Short-eared Owl Snowy Egret Sora Summer Tanager Thayer’s Gull Virginia Rail White-eyed Vireo Willow Flycatcher Wood Duck Wood Thrush Yellow-billed Cuckoo Yellow-breasted Chat Counties… Adams County (1) Alexander County (1) Brown County (1) Carroll County (3) Cook County (18) Cook County Forest Preserves (10) DeWitt County (1) DuPage County (3) Ford County (1) Fulton County (2) Henderson County (1) Iroquois County (1) Jo Daviess County (1) Johnson County (2) Knox County (1) Lake County (21) Lee County (2) Mason County (2) Massac County (1) McLean County (1) Monroe County (1) Ogle County (1) Peoria County (1) Putnam County (3) Stephenson County (1) Tazewell County (1) Warren County (3) Wayne County (1) Will County (1) Winnebago County (6) Woodford County (1) Proudly powered by...
