1. These Tundra Swans are such magnificent ‘tellers’ of time and ‘takers’ of seasons. I particularly liked the photograph of them turned away. All beautiful!

   • Thank you, Sandy! It’s so amazing how they can curl their necks up when they nap, so peaceful and elegant I think too!

6. I think our few have left already, or at least most of them.

   • I haven’t seen ‘my’ flock on the river across from us for over a week now, I think they’ve left too.

     • We still get between 200-300, and no more. Same year in, year out. I guess the extra long haul really isn’t worth it. Nothing here they can’t get by you 😆

7. Reminds me I have to break down and brave the cold and get the Tundra and Trumpeters before they head out here as well – south Texas has thinned my winter coat ha.

   • We are seeing less and less swans now, I think most of ours have already left to go home!

10. They are beautiful and so streamlined looking in air, with those black bills and black feet!

    • Such an elegant bird, amazing with their size. To see them run on the water and lift-off into flight amazes me every time!

      • Very much so. I am in awe of how effortlessly the large Mute swans take off and fly, although I don’t see that much unless there is a group of them, like down at the River. And that unique humming noise they make too.

12. They’re so beautiful! You see them doing all sorts of things. I saw four again yesterday but, but they weren’t very active. Mostly sleeping or trying to. I think they fly in from over the hill rest up and then continue their journey north.

    Your closing in-flight shot is lovely!

    • Thank you, Deborah! I’m already missing my flock on the creek across from us, they’ve been gone over a week, so I’m guessing they started their journey home.
