IMG_4018Photo time again! I know it’s been a while since a photo post, but it’s also been a while since I took any photos. Today, I’m sharing pictures from the Skokie Lagoons, which is pretty poorly named, given that they aren’t actually in the Chicago suburb of Skokie, but instead spread over parts of Winnetka, Glencoe and Northfield.

Apparently you can fish there with a license, and you can rent canoes and kayaks. I did none of these things. Instead, I got a ton of mosquito bites, despite copious amounts of bug spray.

I also got some interesting shots! I saw some great birds, though not even a fraction of the species living there. I am a terrible bird spotter. But an excellent mosquito attracter.

This time, interestingly, I didn’t break out the little camera, there was just so much new stuff to capture with my real camera. Hope you enjoy your bite-free visit!

    1. I KNEW you’d come through with the ID! That’s what I thought, but wasn’t sure. What’s the little gold one again? I make you identify it EVER TIME. Is it a goldfinch?

      1. Yep, it’s a US goldfinch 🙂 Of the herons you have a few regular Grey Herons, two of a Night Heron, and I’m not sure exactly what the brown heron is.

      2. LOUD! It had an extremely startling cry, similar to a crow but louder and throatier.
