Northern Illinois is home to nearly twenty regularly occurring sparrows. Often overlooked as plain “little brown jobs” but with a little practice, one can easily tell one sparrow from another. This family of hardy birds can be found throughout the year in virtually any habitat. In this presentation, we will discuss the species of sparrows that occur in our region, where to find them, and how to tell them apart.

Lisa resides in McHenry County and is an avid birder and native gardener heavily involved in local conservation. She is President of the McHenry County Audubon Society and also guides bird walks, gives educational talks, does wildlife monitoring for various organizations, mentors homeowners on how to start their own native garden, and serves her village as Trustee of Environmental.

This meeting will take place in person at Libertyville High School Studio Theater (park and enter in the back of the school) and by ZOOM.
