Our thanks to @chicagoaudubon, @chicago_birder, and The Illinois Ornithological Society for sponsoring a thank you event for your Chicago Piping Plover Monitors! 🧡 There were many kind words exchanged amongst the kindred souls present and much camaraderie.
Wow, around 316 million #birds are predicted to migrate south this evening! #FallMigration is especially exciting as young, juvenile birds join the adult birds on their way South. Remember to #DimtheLights at night to help these nocturnal migrants on this impressive journey! 💡
Watch this powerful documentary on the work that CBCM and the Field Museum are doing to protect migratory birds. The film features interviews with Annette Prince (CBCM) and David Willard (Field). youtube.com/watch?v=pmn1_s…
Say hello to the new face of Chicago Ornithological Society! We are proud to officially share our new logo designed by @hootalex. We're excited to celebrate this important milestone and the start of a new chapter expand our important work. chicagobirder.org/blog/2023/8/27…
A history mystery involving your neighborhood birding group? This is a fascinating read that somehow manages to touch on the history of art, science, and preservation while still ultimately being about one of the silliest looking birds around. Check it out.

Dear Anonymous... 🤍 An anonymous donation in the amount of $15,000 has been made to the University of Minnesota Foundation in support of Piping Plover research and the Great Lakes Piping Plover Recovery Program. 🧵 📸: [l-r] Dori Levine, Judy Cheske, Ann Gunkel, @plovermother
Three weeks out! You can get your tickets online now. For $10 bucks you get admission to the event and 3 raffle tickets right off the bat. Whether you stick with the three or buy a hundred, we'd love to see you! chicagobirder.org/2023-conservat…
Migration is starting! This Northern Waterthrush and his kin have shown up in our area. These are one of our earliest migrant warblers in the fall. It's a good reminder to get the bird tape on your windows and save the CBCM hotline # to your phone: 773-988-1867. (📷Jeff Bilsky)
Here’s looking at you, Chicago! 🤍 Sunday, July 30, 2023 With no sightings of either today, it appears that Imani and Wild Indigo have started off on their southward migration. 📸: Daniel Eastman (Imani on the public beach at Montrose, Chicago, July 8,2023)
The Chicago Ornithological Society board of directors is excited to announce the approval and adoption of a new logo! After 34 years, we are retiring our current logo which is one of three logos that have represented COS in its over 100 year history.
This summer marks the fourth year of bird banding by COS at Big Marsh. Visit our blog for this summer's highlights so far! chicagobirder.org/blog/2023/7/16…
July 4 Weekend @ Montrose Your Chicago Piping Plover Monitors will be out at Montrose Beach this weekend, sporting those trademark orange shirts. We welcome your questions or just a "Happy 4th!"1/2 #piperwatchchi2023 #IndependenceDay #chicago #July4th #FourthofJuly #4thofjuly2023
Claire was an important force behind the bird friendly buildings ordinance Chicago and neighboring towns have adopted. Her architectural expertise and persistence has made a significant difference for Chicagoland birds. A heartbreaking loss.

Join the celebration! Next week we're gathering virtually to look back at what we accomplished last year and get excited about plans for this one. Be among the first to see what's in store for Chicago birding! chicagobirder.org/events/2023/1/…
It's prime owling season and like clockwork, the hunt for these charismatic birds has ruffled some feathers. It's important to respect an owl's space when observing. We are often asked how close is too close. We can't tell you (there's no simple answer) but the owls will.
We reached 25 episodes and counting of our virtual program series Birds & Bytes! We have no plans of stopping any time soon. Got a topic you'd like to see covered? Let us know! chicagobirder.org/blog/2022/12/5…
Time is running out to RSVP for your local Christmas Bird Count! Check out our local guide and see which ones could still use your help! chicagobirder.org/blog/2022/11/2…

It's seed season! Had an awesome crew out at Northerly Island yesterday evening searching for some high quality native plants. We got a great haul and I'm looking forward to getting them into the hands of stewards and help increase biodiversity across Chicago's natural areas.
