Cooler here too

[ribirdnerd]

It's a cool and windy Tuesday here too. Yesterday was great, sunny and almost 70 again.

Not too many birds around this morning, but a late Eastern Towhee surprised me.
The local pond is starting to fill up with Mallard, Canada Goose and the ever present Mute Swan pair.

A local swan became a celebrity by wandering away from the pond!

I've seen those here on occasion.

:D I rarely see swans in the wild, but I've spotted a few at the marsh park. Mallards and Canada geese are ubiquitous in central Illinois.
