It was such a glorious afternoon I went on multiple bird walks. One of my first spots was the beautiful Red-tailed Hawk soaring over Indian Boundary Park.

Good evening.

The fake spring and lengthening days have me thinking about pleasant summer evenings.
A Lake Michigan beach at dusk, with a purple sky lightening to a dusty peach and rose in the west. A jetty stretches out into the lake, a small tower with a glowing red light at its end.

View from south of downtown. The unseen sun lights up Chicago’s skyline. Trees are bright orange and yellow and all is reflected and glistening in the harbor’s water. People are walking along a sidewalk framing Lake Michigan.

The sky over the lake today has been on some shit today. (Probably related to the poor air quality)
The Chicago Skyline scene from Montrose Pier. In the foregrounds there is half melted ice and still water with a clear reflection. In the middle there is a concrete Pier and a light tower. In the background is the Chicago skyline with a pastel gradient from pink to green to yellow to blue in the sky

It seems like a meteorological fluke to be sitting outside today. Mid February, 60 degrees. Reading on the back porch. An early taste of spring, but the trees are still bare ☀️

What comes before False Spring? WTF Spring?

Anyway, it's 60°F, I'm loving the birdsong, and I had to unzip my hoodie because I'm overheated. I'll take it while it lasts.

I would like to see more noise being made about this situation. If major league baseball players can't get into the country to do their jobs, what's going to happen for the World Cup? The Olympics?? just regular people trying to live???
Tweet from @maddie_m_lee - The Cubs aren't expecting Moisés Ballesteros or Christian Bethancourt in camp until next weekend at the earliest, Craig Counsell said. Both are still being delayed by visa issues.

Building layers: I took this photo yesterday morning during a walk around Old Town. I’ll always love the juxtaposition of workers cottages and high-rises. That’s what makes a city interesting.
My photo, taken on February 14th 2026, of Eugenie Street in Chicago’s Old Town Triangle. Cars are parked in front of historic workers cottages and a brick three-flat with a large towering high-rise in the background. We love to see layers and layers of buildings and history. That’s what makes a city.

I had nothing better to do yesterday, so: here are all 18 ballplayers buried in Holy Sepulchre Catholic Cemetery in Alsip, IL. Special thanks to Cemetery Dog for protecting me from geese.
