6.9.23 Washington Park I, Chicago, IL

   This post is in progress. Please see older posts for descriptive content. 

We hung out at Washington Park while Anne had a doctor's appointment. We always see herons and egrets here. We were able to get a lot of great shots of them with their wings unfurled. And we met Jackie, a retired nurse and current birder. It was great to meet you, Jackie! The last post on the page is for you :)

P.S. Red-wing blackbirds are kinda jerks

The Red-winged Blackbird that is attacking this Great Egret was perching on a bush and swooping and diving at anyone who goes onto the bridge.
