Heard their calls on my way in from the gangway. They’re cool and I love them. That’s it. That’s the post.

I thought people might want to know about this good news. With so much evil stuff going on regarding the federal government destroying wildlife habitat it is some good news. Illinois Audubon Society does great work.

I will understand if this thread is taken down because it is Illinois but not Chicagoland.

Warbling vireo, Vireo gilvus at Chicago Botanic Gardens, May 5, 2026.

Yellow Rumped Warbler, Palm Warbler, Eastern Phoebe, Red Bellied Woodpecker, Redheaded Woodpecker, and a mallard pair all spotted on a nice walk in the Glenview Woods :)

Quite a lot of birds out this weekend enjoying the sun!

These sweet guys are dancing about in LP around North Pond. A delight!

Bonus Canadian goose family shot too since the goslings are so damn cute

They showed up at the feeder a week ago. Northern suburb.
