Well, I counted 69 wild pure white whistling swans (as opposed to mute swans) Thursday on the bay near where I live on the great lakes. They are migrating from the Arctic tundra to Maryland and south as far as Texas. Watching them take off, and fly in formation is the most beautiful and graceful sight. Their wingspan is HUGE. It's hard to explain. Last year I counted 61 at one time. Since bad life-changing events of the last 3 years, I don't make big plans anymore -- I'm not sure I have any plans at all, really -- but I would like to count the swans when they come back next year.
