Observation details
Seen FISHING near the small bridge at E Lake Shore Dr and S 11th Street. The bird was perched for a long time on a branch, staring down into the lake. (The water there is newly clear due to the recent plant installations that are designed to remove excess nutrients.) I took several photos and then, as I was leaving, I saw the hawk open his wings and swoop down with talons in the water. I could not tell if he was successful or not in catching anything, but it was an incredible sight.
