We got hooked on birdwatching and found there are a lot more birds in Chicago than pigeons, robins, mallards, Canadian Geese, gulls, and sparrows. I started taking pictures of them and ended up with far too many to post on my Chicago Daily Photo site. So I started this separate site just for the birds.
The Caspian Tern has a real "Joe Cool" Surfer look. There have been a few lingering by Montrose Beach throughout the summer. (There were more in the Spring but, I believe, they've moved further north now.)
These next four shots were of one of the terns looking for lunch. They hover, a little, while looking down into the water. This one took offense, I think, when I suggested that it looked more like Moe of the Three Stooges than a Joe Cool Surfer.
I've never seen one of these before. Very nice!
