2024: The Avocets. Taken at Montrose Beach.

The American Avocet is one of my favorite birds. (I have many birds that are favorites!) I love its colors but especially its upturned beak. We have seen a few when we were birdwatching in Texas and a single avocet at Montrose beach last year, but never in a group like this. They fly through Chicago – and we usually find out about them after they are gone. But today we heard that they were at Montrose – so off we went and here they are!

2020: The mask seems like part of the outfit. Taken on Lawrence just east of Western in Chicago
2018: Tools of the trade. Taken on Lawrence between Kimball and Kedzie in Chicago. On my way walking to buy coffee at the small shop that roasts their own beans, then to the Library to pick up a couple of books that I had on hold, then to the grocery store and pet store for a few things. By the time I got home I filled my backpack and camera bag. This is what you can do when you have time.
2016: Walking home from the Jewel. Taken on Pulaski just south of Foster in Chicago
2012: Window washing. Taken on Michigan Ave at Water Street
