The piping plover chicks, El and Bean, can now been seen on the 63rd Street Beach on the shore of Jackson Park. The beach is one of the Shedd Aquarium's longest-running sites for community cleanup and habitat restoration.
Along with the chicks, the 63rd Street Beach is home to other migratory birds, cliff swallows, and even baby turtles.
