UPCOMING CHICAGO-AREA TRIPS

These half-day trips visit some of the best birding spots in the Chicago area and beyond. Standard half-day trips cost $60/person, have a maximum of 8 participants, and run from 7:30 am until around noon. All trips are self-driving and led by an expert Red Hill Birding guide (see guide bios here). Depending on the timing of each trip, we may visit other nearby sites as time permits. These trips will run rain or shine unless the weather is expected to be particularly bad.

Interested in a day trip that you don’t see listed here? We can set up a custom tour of the region for you throughout fall. Contact us for more details.

If you are looking for longer trips in the area, check out our upcoming long weekend trips HERE.
