Swans!

I went out east of town for a few hours today, had to pick up some lamb out in Iron Bridge so went to all the usual spots along the way. Echo Bay had 209 Tundra Swans, along with goldeneye, black duck, mallard, bufflehead, etc. On Calabogie Rd. I counted 116 Tundra Swans, and along the road had a flock of pipits and longspurs with some larks. Pumpkin Point itself had 183 more Swans, along with more goldeneye, bufflehead, scaup, a very late Lesser Yellowlegs and a flock of around 30 Bonaparte's Gulls which flew before I could get a good look but didn't appear to have anything else with them. Bruce Mines lagoons were loaded with Bufflehead, also had some gadwall, a female pintail and only a single Wood Duck.
