Montrose Point Bird Walk

  • Montrose Beach 200 W Montrose Harbor Dr Chicago, IL, 60640 United States (map)

Tour Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary and the amazing beach dunes natural area. Northbound bird migration will be in full swing at end of April and spring butterflies will just be making their appearance. In addition to seeing many migrant and nesting birds and cool native plants, we may spot a coyote, beaver or skunk.

You must carry water with you on the walk. Beginning birders are welcome and we will have some loaner binoculars available.

Folks will be invited to participate in the Sierra Club Beach Sweep immediately following the walk.
