Breaking of the Dam

This Black-crowned night heron hunts at the confluence of the North Branch and North Channel of the Chicago River, a site where just 7 years earlier a dam stood. The restoration project has helped bring an abundance of wildlife back to the river, a spot which now hosts up to 30 herons in one evening. Positioned along the overlook of the confluence, my elevated perspective gave me an advantage of scale and ability to capture the water's movement.
