The Chaparral Blind has the most diverse species of birds of the three wildlife observation blinds at Kreutzberg Canyon Natural Area (KCNA).
Kendall County Partnership for Parks (KCPP) designed and built the original 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. Regular visitors to the Chaparral Blind are Northern Cardinal, Black-crested Titmouse, Carolina Chickadee, Ruby throat and Black-chinned Hummingbirds, Bewick's Wren, Lark Sparrow, and Eastern Bluebirds.
The blinds are pleasant places to sit, relax, and watch the birds.
