Report Title: Partnering for Birds - A guide to birds of conservation concern, their habitats and best management practices in the Forest Preserves of Cook County
Report Period: 2018
Summary: This report provides information regarding the distribution of birds of conservation concern observed in the Forest Preserves of Cook County (the “Forest Preserves”) across a variety of habitat types and migratory classifications. It also describes projects implemented by staff, volunteers, partners, Conservation Corps participants and contractors that contribute to conserving sustainable bird habitat within the Forest Preserves.
The report was produced using data collected by the Bird Conservation Network and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird platform, other birders and bird monitors, researchers, conservation partners, ecologists and volunteer stewards of the Forest Preserves and the broader Chicago region.
The document was produced by the Chicago Audubon Society in collaboration with the Forest Preserves as part of the #birdthepreserves initiative, with sponsorship support provided by the Bobolink Foundation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
