The Magic Hedge
A year ago early June I went to a lovely natural spot along our lakefront at dawn to celebrate a special day. The place is called the magic hedge and it is full of wonderful sights and scents in the early spring and all year round. It is magic because of the numbers and spcies of birds there in the spring and fall. that morning I saw a blue bird and this is what I heard.
Here's what Chicago Wilderness has to say.
Recently the Chicago Park District made improvements to the area there.
