Casual Bird Outing -
Detweiller
Riverside Several Peoria Audubon Bird Enthusiasts will be leading a casual bird outing at Detweiller Riverside. This Peoria Park District property used to be part of a golf course and a boat launch to Upper Peoria Lake - which is a wide part of the Illinois River. It has since been transformed into a nature preserve and birding hotspot with 201 documented bird species as of March 2026. If you've never "gone birding" before, now is your chance to try! All are welcome to all skill levels. Meet like-minded people and enjoy the birds! We will even be bringing a few extra binoculars to share! |
