The Chicago Botanic Garden is one of my favorite places for wildlife photography. That can be difficult in the wild even with a long lens -- you've got to sneak up on your quarry and hope it'll sit still long enough for you to snap the shutter. The geese and ducks at the Garden are used to people and paddle by at close quarters, hoping for a tidbit.
