Looked like mostly Canada (and the shorter-necked Cackling) geese, but also the white-fronted geese we noted yesterday, and mallards. There is a little pond right by the edge of the road just to the west of that field, as I'm sure you know, and there were several hooded mergansers and a pair of ring-necked ducks there. The male hoodies are so striking with their white hoods with black markings.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830553767527010173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2139421497584248575.post-49155398506039296142011-03-19T19:32:49.718-05:002011-03-19T19:32:49.718-05:00Great photos!

A swampy little patch across Woodley from our place is flooded right now, and it's freaking O'Hare for ducks and geese: constant landing and taking off. I'd love to get closer to see what's there, but I'd have to cross 50 yards of supremely muddy cornfield to get there...Christopher Tassavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547273541099162779noreply@blogger.com
