Winter Birding in the Windy City
Winter Birding in The Windy City: Some may feel as though winter birdwatching is lackluster in comparison to spring or fall, in the absence of all the migrating species and their flashy colors or interesting songs.

Chicago Bird Collision Monitors Takes Flight!
In 2022, Chicago Bird Collision Monitors became a registered 501 (c) (3) public charity. Chicago Audubon Society served as the organization’s fiscal sponsor for many years. We are proud that we were able to help this great organization get established. With this change in status, CAS no longer accepts donations on behalf of Chicago Bird Collision Monitors.
