Today turned out to be a nice day for birding and walking (mostly walking LOL)

Shrike

Trumpeter among the Mutes: (I thought these two were natural enemies?)

Nice shrike! The trumpeters and mutes will not tolerate other swans of either species in their breeding location, but they often mix in winter.
