They have been hanging out in front and in the inlet behind my house. There were 2 but I'm only seeing 1. I hope there is still 2. Magnificent birds.

Would you be comfortable giving a little more specific address information?
I have no idea where your house is located.
I would like to bring spotting scope for a good look. |

We'll see they do belong to someone and I'm hoping they come and pick them up or something. Last time I think I caught some guys out there at 4 in the morning trying to snatch them up. I'm pretty sure I foiled there motive. Send me a pm.

| They are flying off from my parents pond again. I think it might be mating season for them. Thanks for the post. I will let them know. |

I have been checking on the one behind my house and so has Frannie. There were 2 as I'm sure they are mates. Now there is only 1 ......hopefully the other missing one is ok. The one that is there is eating lots of vegetation off the bottom I guess they like that stuff. It was also very nice meeting Rob k. and his wife from Wyoming as they came out to view the Swan from a distance with a nice spotting scope. That's when I found out the Swan has an orange bill. Magnificent bird. I hope to get Rob out on the water for some lure casting and maybe get him on a big Red before they head back .

There's one in the laguna the last few days. Just up the road from your place hanging behind the small island.

thanks I will look for it. Maybe there is still 2 of them. And when the tides get low enough I'm going to be out picking up trash again. Or when it gets dry enough its a sinky mess back there.
