The Animals are on the move

That is amazing.
I had no idea that swans were that numerous around here.

Neat, thanks,
Steve

We have a similar phenomenon here in the Philippines. A variety of birds from mainland China converge in a swampy area in Central Luzon, about 4 hours by car north of Metro Manila. Our authorities are concerned with the spread of H1N1 bird flue. Hunting them down is not allowed. Some of these also birds gather along small bodies of water just outside Metro Manila.

I think the honking you heard WAS Ms. Debbie…very cool Karson…It has been cold in NAPA too…we got DOWN (LOL) to 25 the other morning…of course that was at dawn…

I love the seasons…when I grew up in SO-CAL seasons did not exist…and while I am only in Northern Cal…(not MINN) I still enjoy each season…

A ’Game’ of swans Karson. That’s the collective name for them, so I just found out.
Great pics mate.

I’ll be seeing those geese in a few months as they fly through going north again.

Swans?

I’ve been calling them snow geese. i’ve been noticing them for the past week or so too, Karson.

And according to Grumpy, they’re playing a game…I thought they were eating, too.

It’s only 7:30 and I’ve already learned 2 new things today… mays as well go back to bed.

Thanx for the pics, I love that stuff. I live out in the woods, I like to see the wildlife along the way to town. When I drop down to the Columbia river I see the Canadian Geese honkers down along the water ways, hundreds at a time. They are a mess alright, but they are nice to look at too.

A photo of Pelicans at Lake Eyre in the Aussie outback. They only come when the lake fills up (hundredss of square miles of it). The strange thing is they head for the lake weeks before any human knows it will have water in it. One amazing feat.

All the white areas in the brown section are birds.

Lee: There are lots of snow Geese in this area also. They winter over in Chinoteque State park, down by Ocean City MD and the area around there. I’ve seen fields that seem to have 100K of those birds.

They have a board where the wild ponies visitor center is where they has a count of the Snow Geese in the area.

So, just to make sure I have this right…it’s a “GAME” of swans, and a “PHOTO” of pelicans. Got it.

Also, I’ve never seen that many swans in one place.
