Sunday was a great birding day. Sunny & warm. Blue skies.

Barred Owl in Elywood Park was a new addition to my Life List. Three Hooded
Mergansers, one female and 2 males were courting in circles on the Black
River. Their hood's were up & down as they chattered away. Four Ruddy Ducks
were doing the same.

Two Eastern Bluebirds had already moved in to a box at Carlisle Duck Pond.
