One of the best sites in Chicagoland for Yellow-headed Blackbirds, with varying habitats also yielding a rich range of migrating land and water birds. Our last mid-May sightings here included Olive-sided Flycatcher, Clay-colored Sparrow, Short-billed Dowitcher, Wilson’s Phalarope, young Sandhill Cranes, Henslow’s Sparrow, Bobolink and many warbler species.
