White and Purple Asters dominate the prairielands adjacent to Montrose Harbor. This prairie environment is recognized as one of several migratory bird sanctuaries in Chicago’s Lincoln Park. Walking through a large prairie area in the heart of Chicago renews my soul and optimism every time I visit. Thank you Chicago for your care for both wildlife and persons.

I have named specifically the species of these Asters as there are quite a few natives to Illinois.
