  • Spring Migration Birding New Salem with Jim Herkert

    New Salem East Side Parking Lot Pritchetville Road, Petersburg, IL, United States

    Birdwatching during the spring migration is a joy—especially when an expert birder is leading the outing. Menard County is fortunate to have just such an expert in Jim Herkert. A retired avian ecologist, Jim has served with the Illinois Endangered Species Protection Board, The Nature Conservancy, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and the Illinois Audubon Society. Over the course of more than 30 years, he has studied bird populations across Illinois and beyond.
