Swans at Holcim Wetlands, Fremont

[mille...@aol.com]

This morning there was a Tundra Swan and a Trumpeter Swan at the Holcim Wetlands, on Rte 120 south of Penrose.  The two stayed close together and were rarely more than a few yards apart.  This enabled comparing the head shapes in a single scope view (and in a single camera frame.)  The Tundra had a large yellow lore spot.

 

They were also here Sunday afternoon but the weather was windy, snowy and getting dark.  I returned this morning in bright sunshine to get a better view and some good photos.

The two Tundra Swans continue this morning at Holcim Wetlands, along Hwy 120, between Florence and Portland.  You'll probably want to go on Hwy 120 today from the east to get there.  There are 30 minute delays today, from Florence on Hwy 120, because of road work on the bridge, just east of Hwy 115.
