It's Spring, Part Two: Image of the Week

I've been under the weather for the past couple of days, big-time, but here's a fairly new one from Bernice:


The duck population at the Waterfowl Lagoon at Lincoln Park Zoo has dropped dramatically in the past week, as the winter residents have moved back to North Pond and South Pond. I expect we'll soon be seeing herons and cormorants again.

And I did see maples in bloom, which I don't seem to have any images of. I'll see what I can do -- maple flowers are fascinating, and they're generally the first to bloom.
