Minstrel Performance at the Novak Sanctuary
Led by Jim Tomko
At the Novak Sanctuary

Hearing the wondrous ethereal flute-like breeding song of the Veery and the Wood Thrush is a perfect way to end a late spring day. Both of these birds nest in this woodland each year and are difficult to see as they hide in the foliage, but their fantastic voice gives them away. Join us to hear these and other birds sing their territorial songs as the night falls in the Novak Sanctuary. Meet at the parking lot on the east side of Townline Road about a mile north of State Route 82 in Aurora.
