CHICAGO ILLINOIS Follow along here on Instagram as we turn a 144 year old Chicago storefront into a place for creative endeavors, events, and quality time. THAT SUMMER FEELING Replete with historical and cultural significance, forged through passing generations, Camp Wandawega in Elkhorn, Wisconsin , still oozes a nostalgic all-American charm thanks to its current custodians...

Create your own stopover site

Your yard can be a place for birds to rest and refuel during migration:

Alert birds to windows with UV-reflecting decals.

Keep cats indoors, especially during migration.

Eye on migration

You can track bird migration by using two amazing free tools, one estimating migration night by night, the other depicting a bird's travel year.

BirdCast Migration Dashboard estimates the total number of birds migrating through your county on any given night (start here: birdcast.info/about).

And the Bird Migration Explorer allows users to enter a bird species, then watch its migration route over a year's time (start at: explorer.audubon.org).
