Barbara and I also went to Pecatonica Forest Preserve this morning, but later than Tim and Eddie.  We didn’t leave home until after 0830.  We concentrated on the area along the river and boat launch.  We had 3 species of vireos-Blue-headed, Warbling and Yellow-throated, probably the same Prothonotary Warbler as Tim and Eddie,1 Pileated Woodpecker, 1 Spotted Sandpiper,  2 Tennessee Warblers, 1 Orange-crowned, 1 Nashville, 1 Northern Waterthrush, and probably the same Catbird, and an Orchard Oriole along the road to the boat launch.  There were a couple of Baltimore Orioles there, too.  Our big surprise was  a very early Yellow-billed Cuckoo!  It was on the loop trail that continues along the river after the turn-off for the oxbow bridge.

Going to and from Pec, we counted 14 Solitary Sandpipers.  It appears that the eagles at Howards are feeding chicks. 

There were at least 14 Cliff Swallows flying high above the culvert on Telegraph Road near Theodorff Rd.
