You know the changing of the seasons is upon us when you see these massive birds arrive. I figured it would be any day now as it is usually mid-March when I first see them. Yesterday, I found about 10 of them at our county fairgrounds. They must have been tired from their migration as they didn’t do a whole lot of anything. Most just sat and relaxed. These four did, briefly, go for a swim but were a good ways away. Certainly there will be many more photo opportunities with them in the coming months.
