Some professors at our university are involved with a "floating gardens" project in Chicago, which aims to clean rivers and restore natural habitats. During a visit to one of the floating garden bed, deemed the "wild mile," I noticed an abundance of wildlife taking advantage of the restored habitat, including birds. I've submitted this image to General Features since it was taken at a location far from our university's campus.
