I also went to Joe's excellent new perch. The swan is still there today. Just a small amount of the lake is not frozen.What a wonderful view of the valley below. I did get some idable digiscope photos in the list below. Also had a distant juvenile dark morph Red-tailed Hawk with some poor digiscope photos below.
Thanks Joe for a very cool spot!
