18 | April 19, 2018 | The winnetka Current community winnetkacurrent.com Photo Op Alexis Reynolds, of Northfield, took these photos on Thursday, April 12, as she was walking along the North Branch Trail at the Skokie Lagoons Forest Preserve. Reynolds, who is a retired biology teacher from Glenbrook South High School, said she enjoys spending time outdoors in our local forest preserves. On the left is a female crayfish with babies under her tail, and on the right is the crayfish at the water’s edge. RIGHT: Reynolds took this photo on April 10 while walking just north of the forest preserve trail in Northfield. She identified the animal as the great blue heron and noted the rookery consists of anywhere between 20-30 nests. Did you snap a photo of a beautiful, funny or newsworthy moment?

Osprey return to the nestling platform, which features a male and female osprey building their nest at Baker’s Lake in Northwest Cook County. PHOTO SUBMITTED Osprey return to Forest Preserves of Cook County SUBMITTED BY THE FOREST PRESERVE DISTRICT OF COOK COUNTY A sure sign of spring in the Forest Preserves of Cook County is sightings of various migrating birds. One species of migrating birds, osprey, has been spotted at nesting platforms in the Forest Preserves. “The osprey have been in Central and South America over winter and faithfully return to our nesting platforms with their partners to have their chicks,” said Melina Frezados, wildlife technician with the Forest Preserves. “[When building the nests] the male will bring sticks up to the female and she either takes it and settles it carefully into the nest or rejects it by tossing it over the side.” Since 1999, the Forest Preserves of Cook County has had the most successful urban osprey propagation programs of its kind in North America, providing osprey with 20 nesting platforms throughout the county. Forest Preserves wildlife biologists monitor active osprey nests, visiting each one in early summer to band and check on the health of the osprey chicks inside. When the young osprey are old enough to leave the nest, they will travel to the Gulf of Mexico to spend the first two to three years of their lives reaching maturity. Then the ospreys’ powerful instinct to return to the area of their birth compels them back to Cook County.
