Hands-On December Birding
Now through April, the park district’s Bird in the Hand Feeding Station has returned to The West Woods in Russell Township, where visitors can attempt to hand feed birds.
Time a visit between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and dress warmly. Stop in the nature center to collect some black oil sunflower seed before heading out on the Trout Lily Trail. Follow the signage to the feeding spot, where “Parker” the mannequin marks the spot. Visitors then hold out their hands with some seed and wait.
Hand-feeding works best with just one or two people or a small group, like three or four. Cold days, especially in the morning, are often the best times to visit.
