Join us for a delightful morning of bird watching at Big Marsh, located in the vibrant Lake Calumet region!

A Big Sit is perfect for bird enthusiasts of all ages and levels. It's a relaxed style of birding where participants stay within a designated area and observe as many bird species as possible from that spot. Enjoy bird watching without the need for extensive walking or traveling. Bring your binoculars, a spotting scope if you have one, and a comfortable chair… settle in to enjoy the serene environment as we observe a variety of bird species in their natural habitat. 

Big Marsh is a fantastic location, offering a unique chance to witness these beautiful birds in an urban setting.We will be on the lookout for migrant passerines, shorebirds, and wading birds, making this an exciting opportunity to spot a diverse array of avian life.
