A total of 31 Trumpeter Swans
were present this morning, including immature #1706 (see the posting from 26
Dec 2017). Note the GPS tracking collar on its neck.
On a sadder note, the swan
pictured on the 2 January posting perished overnight of the 5th-6th. I
believe that this one was the mate of the one that was found dead on 31
December 2017. The swan had remained near the body for several days before
moving closer to the open water.
