Little Details

During the mass exodus of about half of the trumpeter swans at Sweet Marsh this afternoon I noticed little details on a few of the birds. Some of the swans were flying with their feet forward rather than tucked behind them. A couple of the birds had kinks in their necks. Neither anatomical variance seemed to be affecting the birds.

Early this morning, when it was really colder than the rest of the day, I played with more twirl pictures. Following is a sampling of images.
