We took a lovely walk around Fermilab in Aurora, IL this morning. We got there shortly after sunrise, and the lake had hundreds of geese on it.
There were some American Coot as well, and a bunch of ducks.
Then, across a smaller lake, we saw a couple sandhill cranes having what can only be described as a hoedown.
We also saw a bunch of raptors — some Northern Harriers across the lake, a Cooper’s Hawk, a Merlin (lifer) and two Kestrels. Pretty great!
