You have to move outside of big cities and into the small towns. Chicago is an over 2 hour drive from me. I haven't been there since I don't when. My sister needed a ride to O'Hare, and lucky me.

Ha Coming back was a lot better, less traffic. Anyway, my hometown only has 7900 people. That's it. Surrounded by corn and beans. We moved into this house 4+ years ago. I yanked all the plants and have spent the last 4+ years replanting with native. Monee is my favorite place to go, great native nursery there. We're getting more and more varieties of birds. Hummingbirds and Baltimore Orioles haven't shown up quite yet. They both should be here any day! We get a lot of woodpeckers, but we get a special bird. A Northern Flicker! A friend of mine says they're not supposed to be town, instead they should be out by the creek. Well well! I must be doing something right...lol I have a new sparrow, but I've yet to ID. I love the Cardinal and Blue Jay, and I really love when a Cooper's Hawk decides to land on one of my feeding stations! If that's not cool! The other day, there was 1 up in the sky, just down from me, swirling around in the sky. S/he was joined by another, I continued to watch, amazed as they flew closer. Finally, a 3rd hawk joined! There were 3 hawks, swooping, sailing, flying across the sky above me. If that wasn't cool! No skyscrapers anywhere near me. Maybe a 2 story house...lol
