Wonderful Waterfowl

Join us at the Museum to learn about the different ducks, geese, and swans at the Emiquon National Wildlife Refuge. View live ducks and learn about current research conducted by Forbes Biological Station. Kids ages fifteen and under may participate in a Youth Duck Call Contest. Afterwards, participants may journey down with a Refuge Ranger to view the wildlife at the South Globe park lot. Binoculars and spotting scopes will be available for use. Participants should dress appropriately for this outdoor activity. This program is in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Illinois River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge Complex and Forbes Biological Station. Registration is required.
