Swans conduct a close formation drill
It looks like these three Trumpeter Swans are practically on top of each other as they fly away from Westchester Lagoon in Anchorage. A group of about eight of them apparently were disturbed by a couple of kayakers and decided to depart.
Shortly after their departure a couple of folks approached and pointed to some Bufflehead ducks on the lake and asked if those were the swans. I suppose we all start somewhere but that brought a smile to my face.
It won't be long before the swans are gone as they migrate to warmer climes. I also found them at Potter Marsh this morning and got some photos of them there. At Westchester, they stay so far away that the only shots you can get are when they fly or if you have a kayak ;)
