    Leaving for the winter

    I was out taking sunrise photos this morning. On the way home I noticed the swans were a up early rooting around in the marsh. As I got out to practice my bird photography they suddenly stopped dipping they're heads below the water and started honking away. I knew from the previous experience that usually means they are getting ready to take off! So I excitedly got into position. A few minutes later they had positioned themselves at the edge of the water and started their not so graceful take off. Now I can check this off my photographers bucket list
