Our favorite Piping Plovers, Monty & Rose, are nesting on 4 eggs at Montrose Beach Dunes, and we are hopefully anticipating 4 chicks to hatch in a month. In anticipation of this exciting event, the Chicago Piping Plovers team is holding a contest to name the chicks. Deadline May 31.

Montrose Action Alert! CPD declines birding organizations’ request for large events policy
Montrose is a special place that deserves protection from the worst abuses. In July, 2019, twelve Chicago bird clubs, nature conservation and community organizations delivered a petition requesting that Chicago Park District work with stakeholders to create a policy defining the limits on large events at Montrose. Recently, the CPD declined our request - we are taking action, and need your help.
