SWANS ARE BACK!

Nice paddle this morning.  Met two of the swans that were reported at the end of last week (Carol S said she had seen three on Thursday!)

Spoke to a fisherman on the dam who said he had caught 3 small bass this morning.

 A muskrat was busy chowing down in the water chestnuts and brought one home.  For some reason, he wasn't bothered by me today and I was quite close - I could see his teeth as he was eating!  (With binoculars)  Couldn't get any decent pictures though, cuz I just had my point and shoot, it was still pretty dark and he moved a lot. 

 We seem to be back to the normal number of wood ducks (down from the 50 some I saw a while back!), although, they could have mostly been up stream.  Saw one great blue and several geese.  Otherwise, a quiet & lovely morning.
