It's finished!! "My Avian Neighborhood": in total almost 100 hours of work in the span of 27 days to complete. So very proud of this one, it's going to be hanging in its first show over the next few months. Thank you to everyone who cheered me on, the species are in the alt text of the image! ✨

I visited San Francisco in August and I have to say my favorite part of the visit was the urban wildlife, especially the majestic pelican. Watching them fly in groups was hypnotizing.

To finish off my bug posting for the week, have a shot of a monarch butterfly from Labor Day. There were so many this summer, very grateful for that.

Apologies, as these are not great but I have to share this Osprey sighting! Fall migration provided me the opportunity to see one locally, and the non-birders in my life don't understand my excitement over the sighting. 📸 September 7, 2025 Lincoln Memorial Gardens - Springfield, IL

One of my favorite parts of this summer were the bugs, so many bugs. It has been fun to watch crowds of grasshoppers jump around in native grasses as you walk by, like they're popping popcorn.

Was exploring Northerly Island on Labor Day and found this thread-waisted wasp dragging their latest prey across the sidewalk. What a catch!

It is sad that summer is near its end, but from what I notice that only means more cormorants hunting and chilling in the harbors of Chicago. It's fun to watch them hunt, waiting to see if they'll bring up any catches from their dives.

I'm glad that heron season is in full swing, watching them on their slow hunts is another reason to love the summer.

Went to Montrose Beach hoping to catch sight of Chicago's piping plover family and I did. It was a joy to watch the little cotton balls dart along the beach.

Saw a hummingbird in Lincoln Park for the first time a few weeks back. Such beautiful gold and emerald iridescence.

Let It Fly! Since its Pride month, I figured today would be a good day to re share this old one I did way back in 2020! This was based on real event where I was running errands downtown one day and saw this guy speeding across the street! I knew I had to draw him!

And since my last post was so compressed, have a still image of the red-winged blackbird attack from yesterday at North Pond. Wear your hats folks, this heron wishes they did.

Don't normally use the video mode on my camera, but had to for this. A heron being harassed at North Pond by a red-winged blackbird couple. The geese started to join in on the harassment a little after this. Poor heron couldn't catch a break.

Went to Graceland Cemetery hoping to run across a few coyotes and was not disappointed. Got a few good shots, but this one is probably my favorite.

Living in a big city, a pigeon in a tree can be an odd thing to see. Whether they're on the ground or up in a tree, they're very pretty birds. Next time you see a pigeon, stop and admire that iridescence.
