Great Mother's Day in Chicago. Beautiful weather, happy people, and amazing bird watching at Montrose. I saw two of our Piping Plovers (thanks to the guy with super dooper binoculars) plus all sorts of nesting migratory birds. Yay Merlin app! Posting for the #chicagobirders out there! #chicago

So many species of birds there right now, including a beautiful belted kingfisher. Could be over 30 species. #chicagobirders #closetohome

Downy-woodpecker pecking on tree branch.

Clark Park south of the boat house must have had 16 different species of birds today. Migration season is here and all I got was this crappy photo of a woodpecker. #chicagobirders #birdsofchicago
