Fabulous photographs, I love swans and ducks and as a species they are not rare where I live we have both at the caravan park we have a caravan and regularly see them up close but I have never seen either of them 🙂

Ducks, any ducks are always exciting. The swans, are they trumpets. Don’t understand swans.

Ducks are fun to watch. Those are tundra, not trumpeter swans. Swans are rare here, except for ones that are kept for show. Thanks.

The tundra swans photo is so pretty, with the white of the swans against the light blue water. I love the color pallete of the Cape May Warbler photo. Aside from that, what immediately popped into my mind when I saw the bird was the song “Shake a Tail Feather.”

Great set of rarities. I’ve never seen the Tundra Swan. The Wood Ducks are a hit & miss. Some years we get them & some years we don’t see any. I saw a couple in Tampa – like a glimpse before they swam into cover along the Hillsborough River in January. No photo! I love Cape May Warbler. I have a pic of it somewhere from a couple of years ago. We didn’t see it this year during migration. Hooded Merganser are popular here during migration. Always see them. Fantastic post! 🙂

Thanks Lisa. The swans were a fluke find – they had stopped at a gravel pit nearby and I just happened to glance over and see them. Good to hear I’m not the only one having trouble capturing the wood ducks.

Yeah, the wood ducks are a challenge. There have been swan sittings in Florida, but I have yet to see one. I’d take a fluke! 😂
