The great thing about prairies is the variety of birds they attract.
At Middlefork Savannah in Lake Bluff, I was able to get
pictures of, among other birds, cedar waxwings and white
egrets; both of which usually can't be found near Winnetka.
Lake Bluff is a two hour bike ride from Winnetka, and with the
temperature at 80+ degrees and the amount of effort it takes
to track down interesting birds, bird photography has
become progressively more difficult and tiresome. With
summer birds being smaller and quicker than the birds which
were around for the winter, it's almost impossible to get
a close-up with just a 300m lens.
