FRINGILLIDAE This guide is meant to help identify most of the birds that inhabit the Chicago area in winter. These are birds that live in parks, neighborhoods, gardens, beaches, and open water, including Lake Michigan. It should cover the birds you see at your bird feeders. However, the guide is not comprehensive, and you may see birds that are not included. In that case, it is best to consult a field guide such as The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America to find the correct identification.
