Monty and Rose first captured attention in summer 2019, when they arrived at Montrose Beach and became the first pair of endangered Great Lakes piping plovers to nest in Chicago since 1948.
Monty’s legacy will be the chicks he and Rose brought into the world, seen in 2020.
The cause of death is unknown, but plover monitors said it was not due to predation. According to a report in the, Monty was taken to Lincoln Park Zoo for examination, with results of tests expected in a week. The legend of Monty and Rose only grew in subsequent years, as the lovebirds returned to Montrose Beach in 2020 and 2021. Monty in particular gained almost mythic status for his epic migratory flights, covering the distance between Chicago and his wintering grounds in Texas in less than two days.
