Mute Swans Relocated

I got used to seeing the Mute Swans paddling around the lake but one day I could not see them lately. I began to worry. Then it hit me. Maybe they moved over to the next lake over. Hadn't be there in a while but as soon as I pulled around the corner...



Yep. They moved the kids during the night a while ago. They seem happier in this quieter spot. Most of the birds were busy feeding all except this little one.



Others were looking for morsels to snap up while I took photos.



Soon, a young Wood Duck swam by to see if I was offering any handouts.



Daddy Swan kept a close look, protecting his brood. At least I know where to look for them now.



Next, I swung through the cemetery to check on the Bald Eagles. One of the chicks was testing its wings while Momma stood guard.



Down below, I finally got a shot of a bird on a headstone. I keep wanting to get one of the eagles down low but I will take a Fish Crow for now.



So, the swans are safe and the young Bald Eagles are getting ready to leave the nest. All is right in the neighborhood today.
