I'm in Chicago for the next few days, so I took the time to do a species list for the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum! It's a smaller museum in Lincoln Park just north of the Lincoln Park Zoo, focusing on ecology and conservation. In addition to some great interactive exhibits, they have a nice little collection of local species, mostly herps and fish, as well as a lovely butterfly habitat, which is perfect for cold winter days like today. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
