Montrose Point After Work Bird Walk

  • Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary 448 W Montrose Harbor Dr Chicago, IL, 60640 United States (map)

Join COS for an afternoon walk as we decompress from a long day at work and look for birds at the Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary. We'll make our way at a leisurely pace around the magic hedge and possibly the dunes in search of any migrants hanging around and wrap up with plenty of time for dinner. Beginning birders welcome and loaner binoculars will be available.
