Season Liftoff for Trumpeter Swans
Bob Phreaner reports this morning that 26 adults and 8 juvenile swans took off from Kirner Pond to the west. Their flight elevation was such that they would have collided with the old power-lines. Honking with gusto, the swans passed less than 10 feet over his head, so close that he could feel the wind beneath their wings as they flapped.

A Fascinating Discovery at PA Harbor!
Two days ago, at the Port Angeles Harbor, I had the most unexpected encounter!
While birdwatching in the early morning soft light, I was blessed by the discovery of a Brown Pelican resting on pilings. I tore myself away from watching the amusing antics of fledgling Purple Martins, to photograph this most marvelous and fascinating bird.
