Nature Surprises

During a couple of walks at Sweet Marsh today I was treated to multiple nature surprises. My first outing had me seeing hundreds of greater white-fronted geese with two snow geese grubbing among them. Also present were sandhill cranes, trumpeter swans, and two greater scaups.

This afternoon I was treated to the greater white-fronted geese with two snow geese again. A nicer surprise was finding two male hooded mergansers. An even bigger surprise was watching and photographing two river otters feeding on bluegills.
