On one side of you is Lake Michigan, and one of the best views of Chicago's magnificent skyline. On the other side of you is the edge of Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary!
From the Chicago Park District Website:
"Located in Lincoln Park, Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary attracts tens of thousands of migratory birds to rest, eat, and shelter each spring and fall. Within the natural area is “The Magic Hedge”, a 150-yard stretch of shrubs and trees, so-called because it attracts a curiously high number of migratory birds. Over 300 species of birds have been recorded at Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary and the adjacent Montose Beach Dunes Natural Area, making it an internationally recognized area for birding. Important migrants include most species of warblers seen in the Chicago area, thrushes, sparrows, purple martins, woodpeckers, owls, and many others."
This is one of my favorite parts of the city to wander around and enjoy nature. I hope you like it too!
