Illinois River Flooding: Peoria, March 2009; near the Riverplex and Goose Loop

The whole album (16 photos) is here.

I’ll post a few of them:

Olivia near the Riverplex

Here is another view. Note that there is supposed to be a bike path running between the Riverplex and the Illinois River.

Looking out from the Riverplex back steps. Note that the flagpoles are supposed to be on dry land.

That is a family of hybrid geese near the water’s edge. This body of water is covering a parking lot.

Note that one can see quite a bit of variation here; one goose has a black bill and another has an orange one. All of them have orange feet. The variations within a group of Canadian geese are much harder to spot.

The Canadian geese (the usual type found here)

This is the gooseloop (1/3 of a mile loop; about 540 meters long).

Another Olivia shot

About 1/4 mile (400 meters) from the Riverplex. You can see the trail disappear into the water.
