Field Trip: Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary

Date: October 25, 2025
Time: 7:00AM
Location: Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary - W. Montrose Harbor Dr. Chicago, IL 60660

POP-UP Field Trip to Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary in Chicago. We will meet at the entrance to the beach here (41.9635090, -87.6360978) off of W Montrose Harbor Drive at 8am. This will be a photography-forward trip, but anyone is welcome! We will be focusing on newly-arriving Snow Buntings on Montrose Beach plus other late migrants like Orange-crowned Warblers, various sparrows, early waterfowl and anything else sticking around. Again, weather can be unpredictable along the lake at this time of year so please dress appropriately. 

Registration is required for this event. Email WCAS Field Trip Chair Kara Morales by October 24th at karamorales727@gmail.com if you plan to attend.
