Sleepy Swan

The Swans are enjoying their new freedom with the cygnets gone, and are basically catching up on rest and sleep. I got a couple of close ups of the pen today as she was nodding off, interesting that the eyelids come from the bottom up - makes sense for flying since you wouldn't want them blown shut !


What glorious weather this past few days, beautiful blue skies and a bit of sun offsets the coldness. We have faired better than a big part of the country lately, but I fear were going to get our share soon ! Very high tides next Monday Tuesday Wednesday, potential for flooding if we get a thaw at the weekend.
