Whooper Swan

The Whooper Swans at the Bronx Zoo were putting on quite a show, flapping their wings, slapping the water, and preening.  I'm sure I could have spent all day watching them if there hadn't been so many other great animals to see.

Swans in Lindau

We had a wonderful time in Lindau, Germany.  It was a bit rainy but the Germany vs Italy soccer match was on and the atmosphere was quite festive.  We ate dinner at a fantastic restaurant in view of the harbor.  I kept jumping up from my seat to investigate bird sitings.  After dinner we walked around the harbor to find this family of swans sleeping between the boats.
