Ron's Chicago Area
photos


The Chicago area, where we lived for 60 years, is rich with Birds and other wildlife. Since I only started birding in 2014, I missed many opportunities. Now that we reside in Florida, I only make occasional trips to Chicago and these photos are of recent vintage. There are many Forest Preserves and other nature areas in the Chicago area and opportuities abound to photograph birds.
