On May 3, 2025, the Village of Homewood will celebrate International World Migratory Bird Day at the Izaak Walton Preserve. Please come by and enjoy your pick of free activities. You are welcome to bring a picnic and explore the grounds.

Join a bird watching tour led by Thorn Creek Audubon. Enjoy a program about how birds share our urban neighborhoods and learn how simple adjustments to your yard will attract and protect them.
