6.3.23 Cuba Marsh Forest Preserve, Deer Park, IL

This post is in progress. Please see older posts for descriptive content. 

We saw lots of other water fowl at Cuba Marsh, including two mute swan fledglings. Their parents were preening and twisting their necks in all sorts of wild angles. There are also TONS of swallows here as well as many bird houses for swallows installed by the park district.
