From the barred owl to the tufted titmouse, the Chicago River system is home to numerous birds to spot during the winter months. Birders in the Chicago River system can also help collect important data about bird species in the watershed using apps and other reporting tools.

Reports of wildlife sightings have grown as people who used to be in the gym, office, or elsewhere find themselves along the river. Sightings of beaver are making headlines.

There are at least three resolutions we could all make in 2021 that would have a direct, positive effect on the Chicago River system: pick up the litter, conserve individual water use, and reduce consumption of single-use plastics.
