Chicago: Fall mIgration and Architecture

This trip is designed to coincide with the peak of fall migration in the Midwest. Based in Chicago, we will visit the city's best migrant traps and venture into the suburbs for more excellent birding. We should get great views of many warblers and other migrants. We will also take some time to see Chicago's famed architecture, including taking the renowned architectural river cruise.

Itineraries will be updated with plenty of time before the next departure. Our itineraries usually show minimal changes between years, but some substantive updates can occur as birding access and information evolves. For any specific questions regarding these trips, please contact us.

This trip can be customized for private groups in any way. For example, it can be a single day trip, a short weekend, or can be combined with birding farther afield, like looking for Kirtland's Warbler in Michigan or birding along the Mississippi River. Check out our Chicago area guiding page for more.
