Chicago Bird Report - August

Check out our new video series created by Woody Goss identifying awesome birds you can find in the Chicago area - Chicago Bird Report.

There’s something interesting in the bird world every season - and we’ll bring it to you! We may travel to unusual under-birded areas to locate and explain hard-to-find birds.

Here’s our second episode, where we traveled to Park 566, along Lake Michigan on Chicago’s far south side. Host Sujud Ottman talked to birders Dan and Harumi Lory about the birds they’ve seen at this park. Dan is a regular visitor to this park and his discoveries have helped to popularize it among birders.
