Whether you are just discovering birding, hoping to share birding with family members, or trying to develop newfound skills, there is probably no better place in Chicago than Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary!
This 15-acre bird sanctuary, along with its adjacent 3-acre Montrose Beach Dunes Natural Area, attracts thousands of migratory birds and boasts over 350 species recorded. A birding trip to Chicago would not be complete without an adventure at the “Magic Hedge”. Have fun!
