The swans are back, 12-07-2010

The roost balcony provided a marvelous opportunity this morning. The swans were in the field just to the South, between us and Bow Hill Rd. While talking with Ma this morning, I stood outside on the balcony. A swan surprised me by coming in from the North, thus hidden until it was right above me (10-15') and need I say surprised the heck out of me. These birds are huge. They are also so graceful and gorgeous. I love this time of year in the valley.
