Lake County’s largest forest preserve – made famous spring (2022) for a sighting of the first-ever state record of Painted Redstart – is a great place to check out early fall songbird migration (including confusing fall warblers!).

Directions:

From westbound Route 176, turn left (south) onto Fairfied Road. Within a 1/4 mile turn right (southwest) onto W. Ivanhoe Road. Do NOT turn left into the Lakewood Forest Preserve parking lot. Continue southwest on Ivanhoe Road about 1/4 mile to the first road on your left (past big white house on corner). This road is gravel and unnamed. Drive down this road to a small parking lot and public toilets. (Map)
