A plea to PIOs
When birds are still in the egg they create a special bit on their beaks called an egg tooth. The egg tooth's only purpose is to break the eggshell during hatching. If you look closely, you can see this young one's egg tooth - it's the small white piece near the end of the beak.
Organizers say they are committed to staying on Deering Meadow for "as long as it takes," saying productive conversations with Northwestern administration continue. They added they are "hopeful" NU will not engage NUPD this weekend.
Reminder that the federal government wants you to tear down these two perfectly viable early historic skyscrapers on State Street for bonus reasons
A majority of birds migrate over a locality on just 9 nights in spring. Tonight is one of those special nights! Lights out, cats in, bird tape up! Migration-o-meter: 🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦 15 million will fly over IL. Find a bird in need? call us: 773-988-1867.
Turtle retraction at Big Marsh Park
@robertloerzel A piping plover was featured on the set of stamps released last year by the @USPS celebrating the 50th anniversary of the #EndangeredSpeciesAct.
The @ChicagoBears are feeling GREAT after the draft so they have generously decided to sponsor 13 FREE tickets to my Bronzeville neighborhood tour TODAY. We leave from DuSable Museum at 12pm. EMAIL ME to be added to the list.
The sun has risen on day 3 of the encampment. Many tents remain empty as some demonstrators opted to sleep at home after organizers said they expected no arrests or suspensions overnight. Demonstrators are fixing a handful of empty tents which have been taken down by wind.
As I was photographing bald eagles at Big Marsh Park this morning, some teens on bicycles came up. One said: “Whoa! That’s crazy! I’ve never seen one before!” 🦅
The untold story of those affected by the sudden closing of Foxtrot and Dom’s Kitchen: Dozens of immigrant workers who can’t get unemployment. “We are families, we are not garbage,” they chanted in Spanish in front of the Foxtrot commissary in Pilsen. More to come.

@alpacalypz0 If you ride a skateboard, unleashed dogs chasing you is a pretty normal occurance. Some owners apologize. Others threaten to call the cops on you.
Unleashed dog chases after me while longboarding the lakefront. Owners yells at me and pleads with me to stop. I do. "She doesn't like skateboards. She was hit by a scooter." Hmmm I'm wondering if that was because you had her off leash in public.
