If you look closely at the center of these pictures--yes, very closely--you can see two swans. They are on a small stream which drains out of Bishop Lake and opened last week. I estimate they were about 200 yards from the end of my 400mm camera lens. So you can tell they were a long way off. I don't know if they spent the winter here (very few actually do) or if they are recent arrivals. In any event, when they appear on this stream they are definitely considered to be harbingers of Spring. Before long the snow and ice will be gone and these swans will be raising their young on one of the small lakes in the area. It is always good to see them, even if they are far off in the distance, because they are, after all...the swans of Spring.
