Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary

Even one day after Christmas, this sanctuary is filled with life. Great views of a distant Chicago skyline if you walk to the Far East of the sanctuary. Enjoy!

Lovely place to visit to see the Chicago Skyline. I went during the day and it was beautiful. Lots of birds around the area. Please take a jacket when visiting in the cold season cause it can get really cold and windy. But overall good place to visit and take pictures.

A lovely stretch of midwestern prairie area for birders and non-birders alike with Lake Michigan and the wonderful Chicago skyline as a backdrop. The perfect escape from the city for an hour or a day.

Cool spot to do a little off trail exploring. Watch out though because it's easy to get lost. There are lots of entrances and exits as well. Cops patrol the area like crazy though. It's a cool spot when you aren't trailed by the cops.

Really a fantastic place to bird! I spent hours covering the trails and visiting the magic hedge. It's obvious why this place is a hot spot for fall migration birding on the lake. The beach is worth checking out in early morning for shorebirds before the crowds arrive
