Chimney swifts have arrived in Uptown today! A group of four birders, at Montrose Point yesterday, saw a total of 31 species on a beautiful day. It's great to see that the dune protection area has been expanded by the park district. The dunes and accompanying plants have taken over even more of the east end of Montrose Beach.
The ideal spring weather has me yearning for a camping trip. I'll take anything at this point. Even a car camping trip to a smelly, overcrowded, noisy park with all the charm of a parking lot. OK, maybe it's not that bad, but the next Camp Chicago entry could be from a nearby car campground.
