JC Saddington, Bayfront, and LaSalle Park

[Rarepony21]

My husband and I went to Saddington Park today for a guided bird outing. There wasn't much there, but met some really nice people!
We headed to Bayfront Park next, where we found a King Eider, I believe it was the same Eider we saw at LaSalle on Sunday.
After Bayfront we headed to LaSalle, there are some Canvasbacks there (I didn't see, another birder let me know), all the regulars are there to, but I did get to see a Carolina Wren. Couldn't get a pic of the little bugger but it was fun trying!
