The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #LightAndShadow.

I love the way the light filters through the leaves in this one

Ooh, I'm pretty sure this is an Orange-Crowned Warbler I spotted in the brush in Indian Boundary Park yesterday. Wasn't a fan of sitting still out in the open. This was the best shot I got.

I have only been on Bluesky for a week or so, but I like this place.

I feel the people here will appreciate this successful sparrow playing with parts of a cicada for example!

Today’s #birdoftheday theme is #silhouette.

I always keep these, although I don’t always share them.

The Red Wing Blackbirds have moved on from Chicago, and I already miss them

I eyes on a Hooded Warbler through my camera viewfinder for exactly 1 second. This is what I bought my OM1 and 100 to 400mm for.

Common Merganser running on water at Northerly Island, Chicago. 1.26.2025

I still have not seen the Western Meadowlark that has been there for more than two weeks now. Maybe I try again tomorrow.

Saw this flock at the Chicago Botanic Garden during migration - look how striking they are up close! The black-and-white crown pattern on these birds is so clean.

Migration season in Chicago is incredible when you slow down to look.

Missing these guys a bit since the kids fledged and they have moved on. I hope we see the parents back again in the spring.

I'm loving how the different camera profiles change the mood so much. They all feel right in their own way.
