@hugnkiss Red-tailed Hawk. Ospreys have white cheeks, and wouldn’t have that brown banding on lower abdomen. Ospreys will also have all white cap which you would be able to see from this photo.

This insect I photographed seems to be a species called: confused riverbank ground beetle.

@robertloerzel @artinstitutechi This was one of my favorite exhibits ever there. Great storytelling I thought. The Vero exhibit is amazing too.

@BirdingMagazine @GREGNEISE It was only 10 minutes but it still felt impressive. A normal city park I would go birding at quite often.

"The Prothonotary Warbler got its name from the bright yellow robes worn by papal clerks, known as prothonotaries, in the Roman Catholic church." https://t.co/aTCbsH6w6f

"They chant their loud, namesake 'whip-poor-will' song continuously on spring and summer evenings. During the day, Eastern Whip-poor-wills roost on the ground or on a tree limb and are very difficult to spot." https://t.co/oSekxarStV

Saw the greatest bird band on earth last night: GOOSE

[Chris Cochrane @chicago_critter]

@taranaki66 @robertloerzel At least I think they’re magnolias

[Chris Cochrane @chicago_critter]

@taranaki66 @robertloerzel I saw some today, I’ll send a pic this afternoon.

An American Bittern in a cattail marsh blends in so well it can be almost impossible to see. In bare tree branches, not so much. From Montrose Point in Chicago. April 14, 2023.

Migration is the best.

@pmontoro First timer. Could not pass up the fruit cart man this afternoon. Very enjoyable.
