The "Birds" Get After DeKalb

From the October 18, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1917, 100 Years Ago.

"The passing of great flocks of birds over the city every evening this week has been watched with interest by many DeKalb people.  The birds settle over the city during the day and at sundown fly to Huntley Park for the night.

"Neighbors in the vicinity say that the birds can be heard for blocks and that the park is full of them."

DeKalb County is going to the birds.
