no swans in sight, but i wonder if this is a nest site. (Thanks @tallard) because i have seen trumpeters nesting here in previous years.
Just 3 mallards, a pair of American Wigeons (next post) and two not identified ducks a bit to the north.
what about the discolouration on the head, does it stay? would i recognize these two if they nest in that swamp closeby?
lots of beaver activity, the photo of the beaver house was taken at the 'swan's nest site.
Not much to go on. My first ever find of this loon, be it Arctic or Pacific ...
A flock of about 24 or more swallows suddenly arrived at once, adding to the two that have been here about 2 weeks.
