I shot some swans today

It had been 3 weeks since I'd got anything besides backyard birds. When I heard about Tundra Swans just 15 miles away, I had to check it out.

Great shots! I don't ever see swans where I live, Jeff

Nice shots Mike. It's been several years since I photographed tundra swans. is that pano a stitch or a crop? Either way I like it. :)

Great shots Mike, good job taking advantage of the opportunity.

Sweet! Like 'em both.

That pano is awesome Mike!

I haven't been on for awhile and just noticed the feature. Thanks, Paul.

Mike, this is just cropped that way. I've never attempted a stitch. Someday...

Thanks all, for your comments. They are appreciated.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Nice! the second one is great!

Wow, what beauties they are! I've not ever seen a Swan in flight. Super shots!

Mike, great images, never seen them flying before. Unfortunately now, I will have to wait until next April, when they migrate through my part of the world on their way north for the summer. I wish, I could figure out when they migrate back through in the fall. Have to do some more concentrated checking next fall.

Cheers,
