Jarvis Bird Sanctuary’s viewing platform is probably the best place in Chicago to sit and wait for the birds to come to you!

The newly rebuilt wooden platform, with ramp, offers easy access to a bird’s-eye-view of the fenced sanctuary which has attracted more than 150 species over the years. A Big Sit is perfect for bird enthusiasts of all ages and levels. It's a relaxed style of birding where participants stay within a designated area and observe as many bird species as possible from that spot. Enjoy bird watching without the need for extensive walking or traveling.

Bring your binoculars, a spotting scope if you have one, and a comfortable chair… settle in to enjoy the serene environment as we observe a variety of bird species in their natural habitat.
