As elsewhere, y'day AM here found many V's of Can Geese flying north, about 10 each with ~ 70 birds. I scanned them carefully in the hopes of a tag-along swan, as sometimes happens. I was rewarded in the last flock but not as I expected - in its midst was a Snow Goose, most unusual here whether aloft or on the ground, and yard bird 128.

Early this AM, ~ midnite, my imsonia was rewarded by the call of swans. Our outdoor m'phone enabled me to hear them thru the closed winddow. We ran to�he window�and threw up the sash, and got to hear them fade off into the north - not many, judging by the time it took them to pass over.
