    North Branch Chicago River at Edgebrook Woods by Alan Matson

    The water is still pretty high and fast current since heavy rain a few days ago, but down considerably since the rain. No wildlife today. A lot of deer are still on our residential side of the river due to water filled flood plain in the forest preserve on the other side!
