Morning on PI Bay

From early the other morning at Presque Isle State Park, at the head of Presque Isle Bay + Leo’s Landing:

Sunrise over Presque Isle Bay
Mute Swan (l) + GBH (r, background)
Mute Swan II
Mute Swan III

[Editor’s note: it’s been a good year for Mute Swan at Presque Isle, so they seem to be permanently off the eBird ‘rare bird’ list for this area.]

    Wonderful shots of all the birds! It must be lovely to hear them singing. Nice to capture birds who are obviously singing!
