Migration Misfortune! Found these eight Trumpeter Swans “on” Stone Lake ice in the Sax-Zim Bog yesterday. Birds that return north the earliest get prime territory, and most years there are patches of open water, but not this year. The temperature is supposed to get down to around -15F tomorrow night (actual, not chill factor).
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the warmer temps for next week are productive to get some water moving.
