This feathered couple was enjoying a twilight stroll near the fishing pond. A few hundred yards away was what seemed to be the main flock, on one of the Bluestem Trail ponds.
The temperature today rose into the high 60's, and there were many (human) families on the trails today taking full advantage of the warm air before the cold rains move in to central Illinois tonight.
I saw one mother pushing a child in a stroller on the Wetland/Prairie Trail, one of the first trails developed at Ballard's. This trail is easy to navigate with strollers or wheelchairs, and is a great way to introduce the youngest ones to nature beyond the backyard.
Hmm Nice capture of the March Guests... :-)
