In fact, the best weather days (think sunny and calm) aren’t necessarily the best birding days at all. Warm sunny weather entices more people outside CHIEF EDITOR often with their kids and pets in tow. Better get up early or you’ll hear stories Eric Secker from fellow birders how dogs chased off a flock of graceful American Avocets from ASSISTANT EDITORS the beach or runners flushed an unexpected Upland Sandpiper moments before Tamima Itani, Adam Sell you arrived. There’s nothing more frustrating than missing a good bird by a few PRESIDENT & CHIEF SUPERVISOR minutes. Believe me. I’ve been there many times. Matt Igleski Experienced birders don’t mind getting up early or even braving the elements, LAYOUT AND PRODUCTION but it’s not just about trying to beat the crowd. Knowing how the weather may Eric Secker affect migration and bird activity improves your chances at finding certain species or of having a productive outing in general. FIELD NOTES EDITORS There’s probably one condition where you might as well pack it in for the Jill Anderson Matt Hayes day and that’s heavy rain. In a torrential downpour, you won’t be able to see or Dan Williams even keep your optics dry.

  • Outdoor Recreational Needs & the Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois

    Outdoor Recreational Needs & the Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois

    Outdoor Recreational Needs & The Hunter Lake Opportunity Illinois Department of Natural Resources December 3, 2018 Introduction In 2015, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) entered into agreement with the City of Springfield to manage city-owned property surrounding the City’s proposed secondary water supply (Hunter Lake). The City has already acquired 7,138 acres for the project located in southeastern Sangamon County. The lake is expected to cover 2,560 surface-acres with water. Outdoors recreation generates about $32 billion in economic activity each year for the State of Illinois, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. All this activity supports 90,000 jobs statewide. As the population of the United States continues its gradual migration from rural to urban areas (U.S. Census Bureau), demand for recreational land, open space and hunting and fishing opportunities will continue to grow. With 95 percent of Illinois land in private hands, the state ranks 46th in terms of land in public ownership. The IDNR owns and manages about 480,000 acres. The partnership between the City and IDNR is intended to provide additional public access for outdoor recreation, education and habitat conservation on Hunter Lake and its surrounding area. The City concluded the IDNR is the appropriate state agency to help the City achieve this objective. IDNR has statutory authority to manage the state’s fish and wildlife resources. To this end, the City chose to enter a Memorandum of Cooperation with IDNR (Appendix A) and tasked the Agency with managing the property’s outdoors potential for recreational opportunity, including hunting, fishing, bird-watching, biking, hiking and camping.

Deborah Stone read the roll call. Members present: George Covington, Donnie Dann, Ronald Flemal, Richard Keating, William McClain, Jill Riddell, and Lauren Rosenthal. Members absent: Mare Payne and David Thomas. Chair Riddell stated that the Governor has appointed the following Commissioners: George M. Covington (replacing Harry Drucker), Donald (Donnie) R. Dann (replacing Bruce Ross- Shannon), William E. McClain (replacing Jill Allread), and Dr. David L. Thomas (replacing John Schwegman). It was moved by Rosenthal, seconded by Flemal, and carried that the following resolution be approved: The Illinois Nature Preserves Commission wishes to recognize the contributions of Jill Allread during her tenure as a Commissioner from 2000 to 2010. Jill served with distinction as Chair of the Commission from 2002 to 2004. She will be remembered for her clear sense of direction, her problem solving abilities, and her leadership in taking the Commission’s message to the broader public. Her years of service with the Commission and her continuing commitment to and advocacy for the Commission will always be greatly appreciated.
