Bonaparte's Gull

A Web site Dedicated to
Chicago Area Birds and Birding

By Robert D. Hughes

Welcome

This Web site is for anyone with an interest in Chicago area birds and birding. Since my last update I've given The Orniphile a facelift and pared down the content. Though the site is still geared towards local birds and birding, the emphasis is on my wildlife photographs and the Montrose Point area in Chicago. Have fun, good birding, and thanks for visiting.

What's new...

  • The Site Map contains links to each main document on this Web site.
  • This Google Map of Montrose Point shows the locations of several Montrose hotspots as well as the locations of a few recent Montrose sightings (the map may take several seconds to completely load).
  • New additions to the Photo Gallery include Bobolink and Lapland Longspur.

Other stuff...

All photographs (except the Montrose Point aerial and the digiscoping shot) and graphics were created by and are the property of Robert D. Hughes; any unauthorized use is strictly prohibited.
