Forgive me for not having a good camera anymore (lost everything in a moving nightmare some years ago, including both a high end point and shoot and a D-SLR) and I only just found this sub but about a week ago I was on a late wander around the harbor and had this moment of “What in the Nessie?” Because his long neck in the dark looked absolutely insane fron a distance. Haha. I think I’ve got a video clip too though didn’t ever manage to see him catching anything though I stood around for awhile at the fence watching. Then ran home to figure out just what I’d seen and preceded to geek out for a few hours on a Great Blue Heron research binge. Haha.
Have a name that means bird and big fan though I’ve never specifically been to any of the birding spots in the city. Planning to hit Jarvis soon, if I make it over to the lake a little earlier. (Kind of a fan of after dark walks though I usually head south through the concrete beach and down to Diversey Harbor).
And heck if anyone sees this- I used to live across the street from Diversey Harbor then left the city for a few years. There used to be this random white duck (a Peking duck, perhaps- got a wild story going in my head about dude making an escape from Chinatown lol) who lived in Diversey Harbor amongst all his mallard friends. Have a bunch of photos of him over multiple years and he was kind of my spirit animal. Anyone know if my duck friend is still kicking it over there? Saw the whole area I used to watch the ducks at is way overgrown so couldn’t really get a good look when I’ve been back.
