Pleasant afternoon at Lincoln Park’s South Pond for us and this Sandhill Crane. The pond is lined with Prairie grasses and native plants making a welcome environment for native wildlife. Copyright 2021 Pamela BreitbergOne of my favorite places to hang out is South Pond and its view of nature with downtown Chicago in the background. On the left, just under the bridge you can spy the Sandhill Crane at the water’s edge. Copyright 2021 Pamela BreitbergUpon closer inspection, thankyou zoom lens, the Sandhill Crane seems to have caught more than it’s share of dinner. Sandhill Cranes do eat small vertebrates including frogs; but a Bullfrog would be quite a swallow. Copyright 2021 Pamela Breitberg
