FC- Yeah, they are HUGE!...Kathy- They made my day.<br /><br />FC- Yeah, they are HUGE! So huge, I caught a glimpse of them while driving by at about 50 mph, in an area where the view from the road was partially blocked by lakeshore cabins. I turned around and found an unoccupied cabin, pulled into the driveway, and got the photos. Oh yes, I was driving a work truck with a load of walleye fingerlings! :)<br /><br />RuthieJ- Just saw another flock of swans on Mille Lacs Lake just south of the casino. The Hermit tells me there is another flock on a nearby lake. I may have to investigate tomorrow. It is so cool to see trumpeter swans, knowing their near extirpation and comeback here in Minnesota!<br /><br />The swan on the right has some kind of identification collar; you can see it if you enlarge the photo.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-37806482319234379162009-10-30T06:03:05.060-05:002009-10-30T06:03:05.060-05:00Oh pretty!
