Jardine Bird Sanctuary

I have not forgotten that "Nature" is in the title of this blog. The world's largest water treatment plant was built in Lake Michigan.

If you look at the end of the plant in the road map, you will see two green spots. In the satellite image, the lower spot is labeled Jardine Bird Sanctuary. In fact, both spots are Sanctuaries for migrating birds and birds that need to recover after hitting a skyscraper.

The Jardine Bird Sanctuary was completed in 2001 after the areas were cleared of overgrowth and non-native species. It now consists of more then 400 trees, including ironwood, shingle oak and black cherry, according to the City of Chicago website. (DNAinfo)
