Birds of the Chicago Navy Pier Area 
By Ralph M. Hiseman! and Max C. Shank2 
MIGRATORY BIRDS CAN be found in many green areas in the city of 
Chicago in spring and fall. Many of the city parks contain a wide variety 
of species during the migration seasons. Outstanding among these is 
Navy Pier Park. This is the only major spot of green near Lake Michigan 
between Grant Park and Lincoln Park except for Washington Square at 900 
North Clark Street. Birds seen in Washington Square were reported by 
Millar and Heck (1949). 
The Navy Pier Area includes Navy Pier Park, Navy Pier itself and 
adjacent waters of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River, including vari- 
ous slips. More precisely we defined the Navy Pier Area to include the 
territory within the following boundaries (see figure 1): to the north 
and east, the breakwaters of the Chicago Harbor; to the south, the 
Chicago River locks and a line from the locks to the Lake Shore Drive 
bridge over the Chicago River; to the west, Lake Shore Drive.
