Swan Migration

We are lucky to live near the Upper Mississippi Wildlife & Fish Refuge that draw in the Tundra Swans that are migrating.  On our drive into "town" today, we found that the swans have arrived.

The view from Wisconsin, looking towards Minnesota. 
At this moment, I wished I had a higher powered lens!


 The dense patch of white is pelicans. The scatter white are swans.


 Binoculars are provided. If you are there early enough, no waiting line.

Later this week, or next week, I am planning to go to another site that is known for even better viewings. I am so excited and hope that the swans will be in close for our viewing pleasure!

Have a great week!
