The email I received from Audubon said "Chicagoans for instance, can spy Bobolinks, tanagers, hawks, warblers and rails—and still be home in time for lunch." Yet when I clicked the link and read through the lengthy list of birding trails, I saw nothing in the Chicagoland area. I certainly can't get home for lunch from Kansas or Kentucky.

It's true! Montrose Harbor here in Chicago is the place to go I hear, though currently doing a bird count for LPZoo, I've seen all sorts of good stuff. A little out of the ordinary for the area nothing crazy. Champaign, IL has some great migrants, and the suburbs (Kane County) of Chicago gets Sandhill Cranes, White Pelicans, and all sorts of randoms if you know where to look. I'm bummed Audubon skipped over it. :-(
If you want to see the state endangered Black Crowned Night Heron, come visit Lincoln Par Zoo, we've got hundreds!

There seems to be one whole section missing. The links for pages 11, 12 and 13 are blank. The only sections available are East, South and West.
No Midwest trails to share?

How come you don't provide any information about Midwest trails?
The link is not correct.

The link is not correct. When you click the 12 or 13 on the page it takes you to 20 or 21 I think. I just modified the address and changed the page number on the URL. Follow this link: http://www.audubonmagazine.org/articles/birds/audubons-field-guide-birdi... or http://www.audubonmagazine.org/articles/birds/audubons-field-guide-birdi... to see midwest birding areas.
