Well, winter caught up with us at last. How naive of me to take the forecasters at their word last week when they predicted warm weather would continue. By Monday they were predicting Snow. And snow it has. The storm actually started yesterday, and has tapered off into flurries.

"Sammy" Sapsucker, 1-12-12, Millennium Park

This Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker was still drilling and sipping through the snow yesterday afternoon, in the trees by the bicycle rental at Millennium Park. More pictures to come, as soon as I can go through them.
