Tundra Swans and American Wigeons | April 2006 |
| |
By the Toftree pond, I'm accustomed to tundra swans flying far overhead during spring migration.
| |
| ||
|
And sometimes they fly closer . . . but overhead.
| ||
|
| |
So it was a very happy time for me, in mid-March, when as many as sixty swans used the pond as a stopover.

On the extreme right of the photo is a male American wigeon (duck with a white stripe on his forehead), and on the extreme left is a female American wigeon.
Photo note: I used a Pentax *ist D, with the SMC 400-600mm reflex lens for these photos. |
