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. |  |

Naperville Community TV joined one of our field trips to share the excitement of spring migration. Visiting Elsen's Hill on May 11, a traditionally rich spot for warbler activity, NCTV Channel 17 spoke with DBC founding member Marscha Chenoweth, trip leader Marilyn Bell, Corresponding Secretary Diann Bilderback, and Naperville resident Anne Siebert. The video clip is a great endorsement for the pleasures of birding, DuPage County's abundant birding opportunities, and the DBC's commitment to helping others appreciate birds. Watch it on YouTube!
