I stopped at Pekin Marsh this afternoon to look for the Common Gallinules.
This marsh has had a breeding pair the last couple of years.  Saw one Gallinule 
earlier this spring, but didn’t find them today.  Lots of wood ducks have fledged.
I was particularly interested to find three male ruddy ducks, heads tucked in most 
of the time.  (I didn’t see a female, but it is worth going back to keep a watch. 
A breeding pair would be of note.)
