Welcome To the DuPage Birding Club

Birding With a Purpose!

Founded in 1985, the DuPage Birding Club is nationally known as one of the largest and most active birding groups in Illinois. Our mission is to promote birding among our 200+ members and the general public through education and field experiences that take advantage of the various birding habitats in DuPage County, the greater Chicago area, and other regional hotspots.
