Considering the poor visibility, we had some amazing bird totals during our abbreviated Disposal Road walk and DeKorte park cleanup last Sunday.
We had a combined total of 39 species at the two locations, and we can only guess that we would have eclipsed the century mark if visibility had been better.
The Red-tail at left won the pole position in Sunday's most-conspicuous raptor contest.
Full list follows. (Thanks to Julie McCall and Denise Farrell!)
