December Swans

The sun was out, the temp was above 32, it was time to go for a hike. I thought it would be a good day to see if I could find any Tundra Swans and if they are in my secret place along the Minnesota River. I call it my secret spots, as I have only once in 10 years seen anyone back there. And sure enough, the Swans are there. I find a comfortable spot in the snow and watch. This time I observed the Swans blowing bubbles, as they looked for food in the water. The funny part, was that some had not mastered the art of blowing bubbles, but honked underwater. Now that is just a sound you don't hear everyday.
