Willets are one of the earliest southbound migrant shorebirds we see in Chicago. Adults start to appear in late June and early July, followed by juveniles in August. Their migration is largely finished by early September. This juvenile was wading in the pool of water on Montrose Beach we call Lake Montrose.
