After doing some research online, I discovered another popular
birding-watching site within comfortable biking distance that I
haven't been to: Perkins Woods in the middle of the suburbs in Evanston.
I wandered around fruitlessly for about ten minutes until I discovered
three wood ducks resting in a pond. Although they're considered pretty
boring by the birding community because of how common they are, I
think wood ducks look awesome and they're my favorite birds to photograph.
Again I had to put up with harsh terrain to get the photos I wanted.
The pond was surrounded by mud and overhanging branches, and
misquotes were buzzing in my ears, but I'd been looking for these birds
for a while so it was definitely worth it.
