[cosmo3667]

Nice bright sunshine, a large pack of ice in the inner lagoon lots of birds around again still 30 Trumpeter Swans 2 Mute swans, 100 MAllards 2 of which are Bib Mallards 1 a regular for the last 3 years and now a new female with the  white bib chest.  Quite a few Longtails many staying close to shore, 15 Buffleheads, a few Common Mergansers out further in the lake and 30 or more Canada Goose, and the flock of Rock Pigeons coming and coming constantly that make for good practice on inflight pics.
Rock Pigeons returning to shoreline.
