Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary is a 15-acre bird sanctuary and nature preserve in Lincoln Park within Uptown, Chicago.[1] The preserve includes Prairie, Savanna, Woodland, as well as an ADA Path, Birding Area, and Nature Trail.[2] With 349 recorded species, it is Illinois's hottest spot on EBird.[3]
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, conservationists and birders worked together to officially designate this area a nature preserve and bird sanctuary.[4] It opened to the public in July 2001.[5]
