Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary, located along the Lake Michigan shoreline in Chicago, is a renowned haven for birders.
Known for its diverse habitats, including dunes, woodlands, and grasslands, the sanctuary attracts a wide array of bird species. During migration seasons, visitors can spot warblers, sparrows, thrushes, and shorebirds, along with occasional rarities. Year-round residents such as cardinals, woodpeckers, and chickadees make their home here, making Montrose Point a dynamic spot for birding enthusiasts.
We will meet at the entrance gate to the bird sanctuary, along Montrose Harbor Drive (41.9626, -87.6348). Metered street parking is along Montrose Harbor Drive; free park not far away within Lincoln Park is along Montrose Ave and also Simonds Dr.
