Whenever I take my kids to the zoo I'm always pleasantly surprised at the good birding opportunities, despite the crowds. But then again, why should I be - it is a part of the Rouge Valley after all! Although the highlights for the kids may have been a polar bear cub and a penguin chick, here's mine:
2 Wood Ducks
5 Hooded Merganser
2 Black Ducks
2 Trumpeter Swans
2 Downy Woodpeckers
1 Belted Kingfisher
2 Killdeer
1 Northern Harrier
1 Red Tailed Hawk
6 Cedar Waxwing
2 Cardinals
3 Robins
May the gorgeous Spring weather continue!
