Birds

We have been assessing bird populations within the Tollway corridor using:

– intensive searches – walk on or off trail, documenting all species encountered (heard or seen)
– line transect surveys – walk a designated transect and document all species encountered
– circular plot counts – stand in a designated location for a fixed amount of time and document all species encountered

Projects:

– I-90 post construction
– Trout Park
– Migratory bird usage of Forest Preserves along I-294
– IL53-IL120 extension assessment
– IL Rt 390 extension
– North Chicago Wetland Mitigation Bank
– Bird communities in urban parks
