Tundra Swans at Celery Farm!


IMG_6629-001

Michael Tat reported a pair of Tundra Swans Sunday morning on Lake Appert.

Marsh Warden Emeritus Stiles Thomas called and asked that I try to get some photographic confirmation of Michael's find.

I was able to get a few shots from Pink Potty Bridge before the birds flew, and a few more as they flew almost overhead as they headed northward on their migration.

According to Stiles, this is the third recorded sighting at the Celery Farm. Rochana  Muenthongchin reported one a decade ago.

Below is a closeup of the swans' heads, showing a bit of yellow in the lore, helping to confirm they are Tundra Swans. Note the shape of head as well.
