It was pretty quiet early in the morning but by 11:00 am when Sheila came out to deliver the cracked corn to her pets the sounds were deafening. Sounds from cackling geese, quacking mallards and trumpeting swans filled the air.

Only a few people were watching the swans that day since the temperature never got above zero. Steve and I took turns warming up in the car and reading to Jessie. At three years old she didn’t want to photograph the swans for very long. She loved seeing them and took this photo of the hundreds of swans gathering in front of Sheila’s.
