Saw a mute swan on Lake Appert this morning [insert positive or negative reaction here].

   Also of note. The waxwings are still chowing down on bugs at the Warden's Watch.  

I have never seen them so close for so long

   Meanwhile, a great blue heron flew in and perched maybe 10 yards away and seemed to want his picture taken -- no doubt his bill was out of joint with all the attention the egrets have been getting on this blog.
