- **Event Name**: First Day Hike at Irwin Prairie State Nature Preserve
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 01 Jan, 2026 at 10:30 am – Thu, 01 Jan, 2026 at 12:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Celebrate the first day of the new year with Division of Natural Areas and Preserves preserve manager, Maureen Bogdanski, on a guided, boardwalk tour of a state nature preserve. Bring along your binoculars and cross your fingers for some rare bird sightings of Northern Shrikes and Saw-whet or Short-eared Owls! The northern harrier is commonly observed gliding low across the prairie in search of prey. Other common winter bird sightings include American Tree Sparrow, Red-breasted Nuthatch and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. 

If snow accumulation is in the forecast, tracks and signs of wildlife activity will be easier to spot. This is an easy-moderate hike – snow and ice can make the boardwalk slippery. No restrooms on site.
