Illinois Birding Map
Wide Whole-state Satellite View
This interactive map contains birding sites throughout Illinois. It is also being developed as a means of identifying locations for rare bird alerts (note the different color pushpins). It is frequently updated by several key members of the Illinois Birding Forum.
Since the map is dynamic, click the "zoom in" and "zoom out" icon in the legend to refine the location you desire to learn about. A little practice using the mouse to pan the view will lead to good results.
Broadband is suggested for using the satellite view. If using dial-up, the map view should be somewhat faster. But with the significant graphic content, patience will be needed.
