Hey all,
I'm sure that you're all aware that I've been zipping back and forth across Cook County, or the Chicago area, in search of birds and everything else I can get a photo of. I went after school yesterday to chase an extremely rare bird called a Lark Bunting. It did not end up showing itself for the many birders there looking. As I was walking through the grasses I saw something I only recently discovered in Cook County, the Common Five-lined Skink. A friend told me that he stumbled across one out basking on some rocks, and he flipped a couple, and there was another. I went a couple days later and flipped only a couple rocks before finding a few. Yesterday, as I was walking back to the car through the grasses, I noticed some boards and large logs. I knew that I didn't have time to flip for Skinks or Snakes, but it ended up being okay because a Skink ran in front of me on the path! A nice way to end a failed attempt to get a rarity.
Stay safe,
Simon
