  4. Getting 'birded' in Lincoln Park

  7. Notebaert's natural look at food, plow to plate

    The camera hovers inches above the lush tallgrass, the shot panning past the gold prairie that sways to the wind. This pastoral video imagery, projected on walls at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, represents time zero in the exhibit's narrative. We are in what is now Illinois, 200 years back, when 60 percent of the land was this verdant landscape.
