There is a reserve in Indiana, about 1 hour from Chicago where Sandhill
Cranes use as a migration stop. Get there about an hour before sundown.
It's absolutely beautiful and there's millions. There's several places
along the Mississippi to see Bald Eagles. There are quited beautiful to
see in flight. I've seen Egrets around the DuPage river by Npaerville,
recently. There's a state park about 1 hour west of Naperville called
Shabonnah. I understand there's a lot there. I've seen Red Tailed Hawks there.
