We came across a Mourning Cloak butterfly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphalis_antiopa and a tulip tree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liriodendron during a walk in Jackson Park this morning.  Meanwhile, the Chicago Tribune ran a story about the fears of Jackson Park birders now that many trees are being cut down by the Chicago Park District near to the Wooded Isle. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-jackson-park-birders-20130613,0,2707749.story
