Was up at DeSoto Bend today. Aside from the geese and ducks, they have about 60 swans migrating through. Never realized how much bigger they are than Canada geese. The rangers said that they have been coming through for 3 years and each year increasing in numbers.
Something to check out this weekend.

Re: Swans at DeSoto Bend
Sweet, thanks for the heads up. I would assume the lake is completely frozen, if so, where are the Swans hanging out at?

The main visitors center has a bubbler in the lake that keeps that part of the lake from freezing. They were right in front of that building.Brad wrote:Sweet, thanks for the heads up. I would assume the lake is completely frozen, if so, where are the Swans hanging out at?

On Wednesday, we saw a large immature bald eagle hunting ducks. Got a shot of it hovering over a spot where it's intended brunch dove under water to escape.Brad wrote:Thanks!
