Spring Migration: Chicago Lakefront Focus (5.6.26)

Spring, migration, Chicago lakefront, and guiding by Josh Engel at the Jarvis Bird Sanctuary. Toss in coffee and scones and it’s a no-fail combination for a full morning of birding heaven. We’ve scheduled this midweek to avoid weekend crowds and we limited the group size for maximum enjoyment.

We will meet in the Waverly parking lot, 3600 N Recreation Drive, Chicago, and walk to the sanctuary together. Please arrive and be ready-to-bird by 6:30 a.m. We will start our morning on the observation platform overlooking the sanctuary while enjoying coffee and scones. Bathrooms will be available.

Afterwards we will wander the area near and around the sanctuary, eventually arriving back at our cars. Time permitting, we may move to another location before ending our trip. Rain or shine so please dress for the weather.
