eBird Hotspot: James Park/Mt Trashmore, Evanston, Cook County, IL, US
A bit west of the North Shore Channel, can be accessed from Oakton Street, or from Dodge Ave. west of the Levy Center parking lot
This 4.5-acre park has athletic fields and a good sized man-made hill, known affectionately as Mount Trashmore. Northern Mockingbird and Northern Shrike have been seen in the trees that line the sides of the hill. Long-eared Owls have occasionally spent parts of the winter there. Climb to the top of the hill to look for raptors during spring and fall migration.
