1,000 Swans-a-Swimming
A couple weeks ago, we took a drive back out to the Monticello Swan Park. I blogged about the Swan Park last year here. This was our first time out there this winter. The swans are at the park usually from December thru March feeding on the corn the residents hand out. The numbers this year looked like almost double from last year. There had to have been 1,000 trumpeters along with some Canada honkers and mallards. This particular day we had my niece from California and a friend with us. It was -2 below zero. She was in a hurry to get out of there, I could’ve stayed all day.
I just wanted to drop a line with some photos of the swan park. I have been under the weather with a nasty head cold the past few days. It has been frigid and it has been mild in the past couple weeks. And I have gone on a couple of winter photo walks I am writing about. I also spent some time on my deck today with the heavy snow falling trying my best to get the Dark-Eyed Juncos to my feeders for photo opps. Another blog coming on that note.
Enjoy the swans!
Wow! That’s a lot of swans, and some very good photos of them. I think that it’s great seeing a flock of twenty.
Thanks one of my fave spots!
This is something I must go to see one of these days. I remember your blog post from last year.
I remember this beautiful swan park from last year, because it made such an impression on me! These are glorious birds, aren’t they?
Look at all those swans! I have never seen so many in one place. And lovely close-ups, as well. What a lucky duck–I mean swan–you are to have witnessed this.
Amazing photos. So beautiful how the snow matches the birds!
