I took a drive up the east shore of the lake on Friday morning. I was hoping to find some waterfowl rafts, but had no luck. However, the frigid overnight temperatures (-5F according to my car thermometer!) and the clear skies at daybreak created some dramatic fog on the lake surface.
And while scanning the water at Myers, these two Tundra Swans emerged like spectres. I've always found something magical about swans and felt the setting was quite apt. About 10 minutes of exposure was all my fingers could take before I had to retreat to the warmth of the car. http://rramanujan.smugmug.com/Birds/Waterfowl/7409392_5Wsjf#1185579935_ksece And on a side note, Gimme Cofee on the Commons is hosting some of my bird photographs through the month of February. If you're in the area and have a couple of minutes, stop by and have a look!
