Last of the Swan Fun for 2014

 How do these things work?

 Ready for my close-up!

 Feather from more than 20 feet away, good zoom!? Still have camera envy when I'm here though!

 To get a good idea of how many are left...as of Thursday, but now, who knows?

Swan Park - Take 2

Brought a different group of friends to Swan Park on Thursday this week and they have certainly started flying off to the nest. Last time there were a couple hundred, this time, maybe 20-30 left! But we did see a cool Hooded Merganser this time too!

The guy who feeds the Swans says the rest of them should be gone in a few days...just the young ones who are pairing up for mating season left...essentially a pick-up bar for Swans :)

Happy Birthday Coach! (And Papa!)

We hope that the most amazing Dad, Papa and Coach has an amazing birthday celebrating how awesome you are is so many ways. Thank you, Dad, for being the BEST! Hugs from all of us :)

Eagles at Swan Park...and More Swans

More Swans...

Swan City!

Ok, or Swan Park...it's in Monticello, and it's a Bird Nerd Paradise :) Not only are there literally thousands of Trumpeter Swans, but a few geese, ducks and 4 bald eagles hanging around too! Took a few fellow bird nerds to see this place today!
