Larry Jeanblanc, Julie Karlson, and I were out looking around Champaign
County this morning for birds. As we were heading home we stopped at
Honeywell where there has been a large flock of geese. Among the hundreds of
Canada Geese were three Greater White-fronted Geese and a Wood Duck. This
area is on Route 55 a little ways west of Route 68 on the southwest side of
Urbana.

Also the ponds near the sewage treatment plant had several hundred ducks.
Most were Mallards but there were also several American Black Ducks, maybe
50 Ring-necked Ducks, a Canvasback, a pintail, and a wigeon. While we were
there a Peregrine Falcon flew over. I don't know the street names but from
Honeywell you would go west on Route 55, turn right on the next street, then
left at the next street and then left. It's also the location for some sort
of recycling for Urbana.
