Ray Duffy says: "I had a female Hooded Merganser at Clay Ave Marsh this a.m. as well as 8 Greater Yellowlegs and a Lesser Yellowlegs." (Thanks, Ray!)

A blog called the Mindful Walker recently posted a thoughtful commentary with great pix on Mill Creek Marsh.

The link is here.  Photos can also be seen here.

If you're at DeKorte Park today, please stop by the AMVETS Carillon on Disposal Road (at the beginning of the Transco Trail) and spend a moment in silence to honor our veterans and their contributions to our nation.

The carillon, which sports brand-new flags honoring our armed forces, sounds every 15 minutes.
