Perhaps I will see one later this summer, then! Thanks.

Camila , from the link I have added here, far Northern Illinois is in their summer breeding territory, majority of the state in migratory path. They like marshy areas similar to areas you see red wing black birds. Hope this helps.

I've always wanted go see one of these, but perhaps Illinois is too far south.
