Maybe a "Swan" song"

Drove to the Narrows but the Narrows was completely covered over with at least snow and probably ice underneath.

So I drove to Quetton Street boat launch to launch my car but there too everything was covered with snow and probably ice beneath.  I got out and looked around. There on the marge of the entrance to the canal were some Trumpeter swans - maybe 20?

 In addition there were several groups flying:

 

 And some singles:

 No sign of water, no sign of food. I was not aware of any yellow labels but I did search for them.

 

I wonder if any are over at Port Severn where R08 has been in other seasons over the past 5 years or so?

 

 I think this will be rough winter for the birds without factoring in avian flu and the ice storm of Spring.

What "May" December contain?

 It may contain snow!

 

 How do you get down from an elephant?

You don't, you get down from a duck!

Or in exceptional cases:

 And still the snow is deep -

 

 

And there was a late migrant,

 And snow makes its relentless "March" - WOB

May contain nuts

 And you are looking at a jar of peanut butter ... well? 

I should hope so, shouldn't I?

So here I was on the balcony of my outside cabin, continuing my journey around the world, and all is well.
