I finally had a chance to get out and do some birding for the first time in 2011. I took my lunch break at a nearby preserve, Kishwaukee River, but birding was slow.
The highlight was two Bald Eagles; 1 adult and 1 immature. I couldn’t get a photo of either and with wind chills in the single digits I struggled to get the shots I got.
Glad this isn’t my bicycle . . .
Dark-eyed Junco
Black-capped Chickadee
Cackling Geese?
I think these are Cackling Geese but I’ve been wrong once before (or maybe lots of times!).
Wind chill in the single digits!?! Ewwwwwwwww! Thanks for enduring it long enough to share some lovely shots with us. 🙂
