Questions
Before you decide
How accurate is the timing for Illinois?
It describes typical timing across Illinois drawn from long-run records, and because weather, elevation and habitat move real Illinois dates around it says "usually early May" rather than "May 4th".
Is it worth paying when the Illinois pages here are free?
The free Illinois pages are the month you are in; this is the whole Illinois year, planned before it arrives and printable, so you are not holding a screen in the garden.
Will it work for my part of Illinois, or just the big cities?
It is written at state resolution: Illinois as a whole, with regional notes where Illinois genuinely differs end to end, and nothing behind it is recorded finely enough to honestly promise more than that.
What format is the Illinois edition, and can I print it?
A PDF laid out for both Letter and A4, one page per sheet: printing it is the point, since the Illinois pages are made to be carried outside.
What if the Illinois guide is not what I expected?
Email hello@birchcompass.com within 30 days for a full refund on the Illinois edition, and keep the files either way: asking for them back would be theatre.
