5.5.23 McKinley Park I, Chicago, IL

We FINALLY saw the peregrine falcon at McKinley Park! We've been looking for it for weeks. It roosts in the clock tower of an old manufacturing complex. Anne was the one who spotted and identified it. She's pretty excited since she has the worst eyesight of all of us, when we have our glasses on, and usually is the last to see a bird. We also saw a green heron with its neck outstretched. They're SO LOOOOONG.
