Saw Chicago’s very own endangered Piping Plovers at 63rd St Beach! Not a ton of people around, so we were able to relax and enjoy them for quite a while. As they got used to us, they came quite close, really exciting. Also, 63rd St. Beach is amazing!

Thanks for the kind words! I’m very proud of this one - it isn’t currently listed on my Etsy, but I’d be happy to remake it if there’s interest - DM me for details. Love these little beauties, it was a joy to honor them this way.

Love my #delightbox portrait of baby Sea Rocket, Prickly Pear & Wild Indigo by @timkocher.bsky.social. It commemorates our visit to #MontroseBeach on 7/21/23 to see the captive #pipingplover chicks from NY after their release in #Chicago 🥰 @chicagopiping.bsky.social #endangeredspecies #sunlightbox
Lightbox made with layered white and black paper in a wood frame up against a sunny window. The image is of three young piping plovers on a sandy beach. The one in the center is reflected in a puddle of water. Overturned boats, buildings, a lifeguard tower, people having fun and the waves of Lake Michigan can be seen n the background. The blue sky and clouds are visible through the open back along with the surrounding trees.

Monty and Rose forever! Here’s a portrait I made of their kid Imani, along with two others, in 2023. We had a beautiful day visiting them that summer. Grateful to live in a city that values them! #pipingplovers #chicagopipingplovers #montyandrose #birdconservation #endangeredspecies #montrosebeach
A portrait of three piping plovers on Montrose Beach. Chicago’s skyline is visible in the background. They are tiny birds, the foremost of which is reflected in a tide pool. The portrait is made of cut paper layers in a wooden case. It is displayed on a windowsill with a blue sky behind it. The moon is just visible above the buildings.
