The birds are migrating and Chicago is just a pitstop.
In the last decade, the district has increased by 10-fold the amount of acreage undergoing habitat restoration, all part of an effort to recreate the region’s historic ecosystems, which supported diverse flora and wildlife, according to Arnold Randall, general superintendent of the district.
Three years ago, the district had what he termed an “audacious idea” for Eggers Grove: To replicate the woodlands and wetlands that once defined the area, before industry and development altered the landscape. “There are birds coming through Eggers right now who have come here from Canada,” said Michelle Parker, executive director of Audubon Great Lakes. “They’re here, they’re hanging out, they’re resting and refueling, and then they’re headed to South America. That’s extraordinary. We’re so blessed to have Eggers Grove.”
