Observation details
Will add photo. Smaller gray raptor hunting migratory dragonflies over millenium park. Juvenile bird. Gray head, dark upperwings getting lighter moving towards the torso, dark, fan-shaped tail. First spotted by Jacob D over northerly island at approx 8:29AM. I drove up from the calumet area and posted up at a lookout next to the museum looking over MP, pin provided by JD. Bird was refound by me at 9:43AM in my bins and lingered for a few minutes before flying between buildings headed north, just west of the aqua building. Gigantic thank you to JD for the initial report, Mike M for the second refind, JD for the recommended lookout location. Unbelievable chase for my big year, cook year bird 278!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unforgettable experience! Pure magic and gratitude!
