I hadn't been to Chicago Bog in years. It was great to be back for a lunch walk. Cortland is always a few weeks behind my normal woods walks so I was able to enjoy spring flowers a second time.
I was hoping for ducks and maybe a lucky warbler sighting when I reached the bog.
After work I made a first visit to Dryden Lake. The lake was quite scenic with a trail along the northern shore.
My duck sighting was a little late, but I enjoyed a solitary merganser swimming across the water to a log where it stopped to dry off.
The old railroad grade was a pleasant walk although I was always looking out for more rain arriving.
Eventually the rain did arrive and I had a long run back to the vehicle. The camera came through dry so the journey was worth the sights.
