On a recent work walk with my library colleagues, we spotted the big white birds in Onondaga Lake again.
I dashed out to the shoreline, thrilled that the two swans were closer to land than when we spotted them months ago.
Still I tried to zoom in. The lighting had the birds blending in with the water.
They sure are beautiful, and look lonely in November.
Lovely. Good blues 🙂

I wonder now long they will hang here, Joey.

I don’t know enough about them. Do they winter there?

This is the first year I have spotted the swans, so I do not know their habits for the whole season.

I may have to Google. Now I’m interested.
I didn’t get all into it, but the highlights of skimming reveal swans are VERY northern birds, who mate north of you and who sometimes venture down as far as the Chesapeake Bay area.
I will read more another time. Who knew? Not me!

Last week I counted eight of the majestic birds, down by Willow Bay. It is so thrilling to see them, Mark, and I am so glad you posted about it.

I haven’t been to the Willow Bay side of late, Lynn. Thanks for reporting to us about the abundance of swans to the west!

It looks chilly. For no other reason than I know the time of year. Lovely.

You are correct, MBC. And yet I have yet to switch from my autumn shell to my winter jacket. Knock on wood.
