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.
