Like many others we have been watching hopefully for Tundra Swans flying 
over the house, but so far in vain until yestermorning when we settled 
for a V of 140 migrating Canada Geese. Then we noticed that the last 2 
birds in one of the long arms were in fact swans - a phenomenon I had 
never seen before.

This morning about 9 am, seen from Governor Bridge Park in Bowie, two 
large V's of swans passed high overhead, totalling about 1000 birds.

A smaller but unusual fly-over was one of 17 Fish Crows - each one 
calling distinctively - flying low over the house this afternoon. No 
Ravens so far.
