Did you hear a whistle in the wetland?This mysterious marsh bird is known more for its call than its sightings. Part of the rail family, Soras feed on beetles, crayfish, snails, and spiders and are adept at hiding in dense vegetation as they distribute their weight over their thin, long feet.

Just over 2 weeks ago, the Roots and Shoots Chicago Basecamp & Jane Goodall Institue hosted Dr. Jane Goodall at the Lincoln Park Zoo for free event!💛 She reminded us how important hope, persistence, & compassion are to build the future we want. She believed so strongly in the power of young people.

Last Friday I found a bird I haven’t seen in the wild yet! This female Belted Kingfisher was downtown across from a manmade waterfall. These majestic fliers reside in Chicago all year round. #birdcollision #kingfisher
