A nice morning to be out around our place in Waukesha.  Had my first barn 
swallow of the year, along with a good selection of other birds.  Got to 
witness several blue jays mob a poor great horned owl, and then on the way back 
some crows did the same.  Also in one of the ponds had a mallard with 10 
ducklings.
Here are some photos.  Cloudy skies made for some so so photos of the ducks but 
still cute!
