Chicago Bird Alliance

Chicago Bird Alliance connects people with birds and nature through educational programming, field trips, advocacy, stewardship and research. We are a membership organization - a chapter of the National Audubon Society that covers Chicago, and Cook County suburbs except for northwest and far south. Formerly called the Chicago Audubon Society, we adopted a new name in 2023. We support organizations that share our vision: Chicago Piping Plovers and Bird Friendly Chicago. We work with partners that share our vision: Chicago Bird Collision Monitors, Chicago Ornithological Society, Openlands’ Birds in My Neighborhood, Chicago Park District, Cook County Forest Preserves, Friends of the Chicago River, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and others. Our members enjoy observing, studying, conserving and advocating for local native birds and other wildlife. All are welcome to join. Photo: Yellow Waller by Jesse Gordon
