via e-mail: Thanks to Margaret's post I was able to see the
Trumpeter Swans in South Elgin around 1:30. They were on the ice even
with the south edge of the fenced ball field. I didn't have time to trudge
down to look for the pintails.

Further south on the Fox River Trail, near Woodcliff, the yard with the railroad paraphernalia, two Northern Pintails. Anne Duck on 1/26 reported via e-mail: Lucky to see the flock of about 15 pheasants along Peck Rd at 12:30 pm on Friday! What a beautiful sight! All of the cars slowed to watch! Paul Miessler on 1/21 reported via e-mail: There are two flocks of pheasants [in Geneva] along the W side of Peck Rd, one at Peck and Prairie View, and the other at Peck and Heartland. Good to see!
