I hit the jack-pot yesterday morning. Our son called around 9AM saying there was a large flock of swans in the flooded field next to his shop. He said " You better get up here right away". We got in the van and drove to the spot to see 60 or 70 Tundra Swans all together on the water. I've never seen this many in one place before, and I'm thinking the reason is that the wind was so strong Tuesday night and on Wednesday that they probably needed to rest. Believe me I was excited. The only time I've ever seen Tundra's is way up in the sky when they are migrating.. No more talking, I'll just let you look at the pictures.

When I took these shots I didn't realize the trees in the background were full of Starlings!

We checked a small lake near us, and saw 3 pair of Common Mergansers. This is a male, and the only one close.

This lake still has ice with water on top.

These swans were on Findley Lake in a bit of open water. We saw about 15 here.

This is how far away the flock was.

The temperature has dropped to 28º after temps in the 50's Tuesday night. Tomorrow some sun maybe. We'll see, and lets hope these winds stops!
