Seeing Something

This afternoon I spent several hours at Sweet Marsh hoping to do a better job of photographing trumpeter swans than I did the day before (no tripod for a long lens, no wind screen for external mic). My mission did not work out as anticipated. First, I saw only 4 trumpeter swans. Second, the swans and the hundred or more Canada geese were taking it easy today. They hardly made any noise as most appeared to nap the entire time I was watching and waiting.

As I waited for something to happen with the birds I noticed white-barked trees to my east. I popped the drone in the air, flew over, and shot this photo. Note - I have edited the image to meet my artistic goals.

Even with the drone in the air the waterfowl were not disturbed.

In the event you wish to see the excitement from the day, I did put together a short video from my uneventful afternoon. View the video at this link:
