the top one (as of now) is a great little feeding video from last season. if you scroll down a couple of posts there are new little videos of the prospective tenants scoping the place out in the last few days.

I grew up listening to Jean Shepherd on WOR Radio in New York, and even got to meet him once, years later.  He remains one of major influences.  On my latest flight across Lake Michigan, I verified that the tapestry was still in place.  The lights of General Mitchell Field were only dimly visible through it.

Here's a fresh link for astounding photos by Rick Remington of a battle between a snowy owl and a peregrine last winter -  . . . a block from where I live. A snowy spent most of last winter in the harbor.
I'm hoping . . . that'd be a good neighbor.
