    Good Haiku David. about 50 swans were mostly circling (some sleeping) to keep some water from freezing in well below freezing temperatures. I didn’t get them all in the picture. They were quietly cooing. In another hour they would take off south towards you. By evening a person could walk on the ice frozen where they had spent the night without falling through.

      Thank you, Gary. I’ve never seen that many swans in one place before.

        They group only when migration is happening, I believe. Most swans are seen in 2’s

        I just found this comment today, Gary. Over a month after you wrote it. Sorry about that.
