Day 17 - January 17, 2010

"Wait for us!!" My frozen children playing alongside a frozen Lake Michigan.

Day 16 - January 16, 2010

A juvenile Ring-billed Gull (or possibly a juvenile Herring Gull) hanging out by the lagoon on the campus of Northwestern University.

Day 15 - January 15, 2010

A male Hooded Merganser swimming in the lagoon of Northwestern University.

Day 14 - January 14, 2010

Al Gore needs to give up his phoney global warming nonsense. He needs to come to Chicago and see our beloved Lake Michigan...which is currently frozen over.

Day 13 - January 13, 2010

Wow, this very dead bird (I think a goose) was scattered over a wide area. It was pretty gross.

Day 12 - January 12, 2010

An unfortunate fish that didn't make it through the harsh Chicago winter.

Day 11 - January 11, 2010

The birds are back! Well, truth be told the sea gulls never left. They are hardy creatures that seem to thrive even though it's really cold outside. I have no idea what they eat in this frozen wasteland.
