thanks Alex. Just learned that Trumpeter swans are in this area, so that's my next "wish" :)

many thanks Don, yes, also think it's a mute swan. Far as I know, haven't seen any trumpeters, but will keep hoping and watching :)

many thanks, Cindy, for the nice comments. -- too bad we can't do a swap, as we don't often see the black swans here, and I'd love to.
