Five swans showed up this am at 0757. They're
the gray smudge just above the statue of the old
man in the boat. Awesome in real life.
Then we watched them all fly away. Their wingspan
is greater than an eagle's.
I have no pictures of the 50 or so Goldeneye that
soon showed up afloat on the water. And then,
when Angelo and I were walking in the snow,
a noisy, honking flock of larger Canadians flew over
in a double V.
They were immediately followed by a flock of
Trumpeter Swans, no noise from them, just the
quiet swish of about 100 wings keeping them aloft.
Stand quietly. They fly softly and make a lasting
impression on the world.
