Has anyone else taken a look at the five swans that were in
Furnace Bay at the Perryville Park today? Their neck
posture was very straight most of the time, and their bodies
seemed pretty low in the water. I was not able to get close
enough to look at the bill color. Could they have been Tundra Swans
this late?

There were a few Scaup in the water, but that was it for birds.
Aside from a few crows and starlings, the park was very quiet today.
