Deer Run Forest Preserve doesn’t have the
cicadas as Blackhawk Springs and Kishwaukee do, but the
prairie birds are everyhwere! I took Dakota and Sammie
(my 9-year-old son and 8-year-old niece) to find
Dickcissels and we did! Very close wonderful views of
them and also Grasshopper Sparrows. It was hot, but we
had a great time.
The Dickcissel pictures weren’t that great, but
the coneflowers turned out. The prairie is looking
beautiful!
