First time I've seen one of these birds up-close: a white-winged scoter. I saw it this morning in the Chicago River's North Branch right next to the Lawrence Avenue bridge. It's also been seen lately in River Park.

A far-out display is in full bloom at the Chicago Botanic Garden. More than 10,000 orchids are in displays that harken back to a different era.

Bald eagle next to its giant nest in rural Illinois. I took this photo from very far away — it was so huge I could see it all the way across the farmland

You can be mad at the people documenting all you want but that won't change the fact that state and local police departments have played (and will continue to play) an instrumental role in allowing DHS to operate unimpeded. That's kind of just what cops are designed to do.
