Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary
4400 N Simonds Dr, Chicago, IL 60613
USA
With its Lake Michigan beach and “Magic Hedge” bushes serving as a welcome stopover for birds migrating along the Mississippi Flyway, Montrose is a world-famous birding hotspot that has attracted more than 300 species – including some of the rarest birds ever recorded in the state. Late September can be hopping with late fall warblers, vireos, flycatchers, thrushes and wrens, as well as early fall sparrows, scattered shorebirds and other bird “magic.”
Directions: From Lake Shore Dr. take the Montrose Ave. exit east, turn right at the Bait Shop at Montrose Harbor Dr., park near the sanctuary entrance and feed parking meters OR park on Montrose before or after Bait Shop for free.
