Mute Swans (Cygnus olor)

Two quick post today then have to run to do some errands. These will be last post for me for about a week. Leaving for St. Louis tomorrow to visit my our son and new grand daughter. She just turned 9 months and although we were our there at Christmas time they change so much in the first couple of years.
Anyway will probably be taking a lot of baby pics instead of birds for the next week... lol
This pair of Mute Swans was found yesterday on a local reservoir. We get at least one pair there for a few weeks each year. While they don't nest in this area it is nice to have them around for a bit each year.
