After spotting a few Gadwalls and Hoodies, I suddenly realized there two huge Trumpeter Swans in the rear of the pond. They haven&#8217;t been in this pond since Spring, as far as I know. They had three cygnets up in Woolchurch Pond, so I wonder if they&#8217;re preparing to leave for the season.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, I&#8217;ve been here before, so I suspected what was coming. In just a few minutes they had gathered on the West end of the pond to get the most room, then they pattered noisily across the water until they were airborne, and I was in position to get most of it. A great way to start the day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46894\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=46894\"
