Yesterday the email message board in our little community on the Bay was alive with emails  reporting sightings of "long lines of white swans drifting offshore".
 
One report was of 100; I saw a second flock of 30.
 
Presumably they then flew north over Silver Spring, etc.!.

(Leslie Starr sent a message explaining that they were Tundra Swans, but old timers persisted in calling them "whistlers".)
