Pretty much the quintessential bird on the Skokie Lagoons is the mallard.
They're everywhere, usually in pairs. They always take off when I
approach them (supposedly I'm a very zealous nature photographer),
so I've made a habit of trying to catch them flying with the trees blurred
behind them.

The sun was right above this part of the Lagoon, so the birds' feathers
had a very vibrant look. I was in a densely wooded area so it was
difficult to get a clear, up close shot of the mallards.
