Hi, Tweeters,

Today, in the snow that's been coming down, a flock of about ten Trumpeter
Swans flew right over my house. They were so low I could hear their wings.
Even though it was snowing, the sun was glowing through the clouds, and
throwing a diffuse light on the swans. It is one of the most beautiful things
I've ever seen...white birds on a white sky, the only sound that of a single
trumpet call and the sound of their wings.
This is what makes being a birder worthwhile.
