Name Chicago's newest piping plover chicks

Chicago's newest additions to the piping plover community need names. The parents, beloved Imani and Sea Rocket, laid their first egg of the season on the Montrose Beach dunes shoreline back in May. Now they need your help. Name suggestions can be submitted on the "Chicago Piping Plovers" Facebook page. The Chicago Ornithological Society wants names that reflect Chicago's heritage, culture, and diversity. The name submission deadline is July 7. The Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary attracts tens of thousands of migratory birds every year. It features a Magic Hedge — a 150-yard stretch of shrubs and trees — that attracts an especially large number of species. Piping plovers are found not in the Magic Hedge, but on the beach. Monty and Rose — named after the beach that is in turn named after the east-west street of which it serves at the mouth — were the first to nest at Montrose Beach in 71 years when they appeared in 2019. Pippin was hatched in 2023 in Cat Island, located in Lake Superior in the northernmost reaches of Wisconsin.
