Great some one else got to see the swans, Bill Shepard called us about 9 am.
When we arrived at ~9:40 we counted 10.  We happened to have a camera with
us and got some decent pictures. We were there when they took off heading
north????, they did not look like they were going to land again.

We will post the pictures some time today.


Good Birding,
Spencer
