Notes come from around Chicago and beyond.
WILD OF THE WEEK
On Tuesday Barbara Van Diggelen emailed, “They’re emerging! From my backyard garden in Park Ridge, I’m spotting the red-eyed smaller cicadas.” According to The Morton Arboretum, “The northern third of Illinois is in the range of Brood XIII, which last appeared in 2007. Its next appearance is due in 2024.” Some arrive sooner than 2024, as Diggelen saw.
WOTW, the celebration of wild stories and photos around Chicago outdoors, runs most weeks in the special two-page outdoors section in the Sun-Times Sports Saturday. To make submissions, email BowmanOutside@gmail.com or contact me on Facebook (Dale Bowman), Twitter (@BowmanOutside) or Instagram (@BowmanOutside).

“Wanted to let you know we saw our first hummingbird today (5-11). Also, we have seen three Baltimore orioles this week.” Tweet, Frank Kruse, Will County section of Park Forest.
A: Three weeks later and I’m still waiting on an oriole, beginning to lose hope. I did hear one last week.
BIG NUMBER
