Miserable Way to Wait Out the Weather

I suppose when you are a wild trumpeter swan and the weather gets nasty, you don’t really have too many options other than to wait out the storm.

This swan was part of a family group resting in corn stubble as strong wind blew rain and sleet on them. I have a hunch that before darkness set in they were planning to move to the safety of open water somewhere. That was not happening while I watched them.
