Monty and Rose Documentary To Play On PBS This Saturday

Monty and Rose, the rare piping plovers who made a nest and raised a family at Montrose Harbor last summer, are the subjects of a documentary that played around the area last autumn.

Now you can see it in the comfort of your own home, as it plays on WTTW (PBS) on Saturday, May 2nd, at 5:30pm.

It's also available to stream on Vimeo for $1.99.

In another development, Block Club Chicago reports that, with the lakefront closed to humans, it is prime for another possible nesting season. Birdwatchers report that plovers are now taking a break there on their northern migration, raising hopes that Monty and Rose may return.
