The Cuckoo Blind is the largest of the three wildlife observation blinds at Kreutzberg Canyon Natural Area (KCNA).
Kendall County Partnership for Parks (KCPP) designed and built the blinds to be great for birders and pretty good for photographers. Each blind has seating, solar fans, camera ports, water catchment, and a habitat yard with a solar water feature and feeding stations. Volunteers maintain and care for the blinds, and supply seed and feed the birds.
More than 100 bird species have been seen at KCNA. Visitors to the Cuckoo Blind have included Painted Bunting, Canyon Towhee, Rufous-crowned Sparrow, American Kestral, Black-chinned and Ruby throat Hummingbirds, Northern Cardinal, Black-crested titmouse, Carolina Chiockadee, Ash-throated Flycatcher, Pine Siskin, and Lesser Goldfinch.
The blinds are pleasant places to sit, relax, and watch the birds. Don't think outside the box. May require a stick or longer reach for the vertically challenged.
Park hours are 7A to dusk, 7 days.
