TUNDRA SWAN - 9
[beautiful against the tan marsh vegetation on the NH side, with morning sun 
on them.  Definitely not Mute swans; slim black bill against white head, bill 
about same length as head.]
Unfortunately, the swans had flown off by my return (with camera) at 10:45.  
Checked up to Cedar Circle and down to Ledyard Bridge... no luck.
