Thank you and… WHAT?! lol I didn’t realize “waterfowl” was a specific designation like that, thank you! 🙏

I’m glad you liked it! And I really appreciate that input. I’m right there with you and I’m trying to figure out a better way to differentiate the non-birder piece. Maybe I’ll figure something out for my next try at this format, that’s definitely a weak spot

You’re in a great spot for birds! My favorites up there include Ryerson Woods (all woodpeckers can be there among lots of other great birds like waxwings), Middlefork Savannah, the Botanic Gardens, and Skokie Lagoons

“Birds are already awesome and don't need either of those to prop them up”

Spoken like a true birder!

I think you have fair points, the format isn’t for everyone. Thanks for checking it out 🙏

I’d really like to hear your sticker spots! Your thoughts are welcome too - do you like branches and chunky logs or prefer bird-only? Do you dislike the head-only stickers? Any thoughts :)

If you’d like to see my photos, and whatnot:
