Lake Zurich resident Bob Warren sent in some awesome photos that he took of birds and waterfowl here in Lake Zurich. Some of these call Lake Zurich home; others are passing through on migration.  We in Lake Zurich are blessed with lots of little ponds and wetlands that waterfowl can use for nesting, resting and eating.

Bob”s Comments about the geese:

1)   About 50 in the line following Dad

2)  Telling the kids he will take them swimming today

3)  Okay Mom, let’s count them to make sure that we didn’t leave anybody behind

4)  Pictures taken a day after Mother’s Day next to our Senior Center Pond in Lake Zurich
