These are the tracks πΎ we saw on our walk along the irrigation ditch. I at first thought they were webbed but now I'm not so sure. I've NEVER this bird heard & I couldn't get Merlin to catch it. So I went down the list of likely birds & listened to each one. This hit the jackpot.

Pelicans gather on an island in the Fox River.
Pelicans and cormorants sit on the shore of the Fox River.
A bald eagle chick peeks out of the nest as a parent looks on. A man had his long lens hooked to his camera and let us look.
The ducks were out too.
McHenry Dam on the Fox River in Illinois is currently a pelican stopover. They're mingling with cormorants. Bald eagles also have a nest and at least two hatchlings. #birdsky
Me watching Disc Golf on tv: did you hear that Pileated Woodpecker drumming?! Oh! That was a Titmouse!

I've gone from #MoonJoy to #BirdJoy rare find today, even more rare for this early in the season. Eastern Towhee, so cute and what a beautiful song. #MerlinBirdApp #BirdSky poor quality taken on phone thru a screen at a distance, not too bad for all that. Live cages are for relocating tree rats.
Killdeer
Killdeer nesting in the parking lot.
With Westham Island isolated with the bridge work and the Reifel Sanctuary closed for so many months this Killdeer decided to nest in their parking lot. #BirdSky
This is wonderful. Rio has the largest national park (actual rainforest) in the middle of the city! π¦

An Oregon (Dark-Eyed) Junco nest next to a house. A piece of electrical conduit runs through the center of the photo, with this year's nest at its base. In the nest you can see four eggs. At the middle of the left hand edge of the frame you can see the nest from last year. The birds spent quite a bit of time "working" on last year's nest before switching to the new nest at the base of the conduit.
After long & careful consideration, the Junco family has decided not to reuse last year's nest. They have built a new one next door. Over the last several days a new egg has appeared in the nest each morning. They now have four. Expecting chicks around the 26th! #BirdSky #Junco
