Mississippi River Birds

Remember a few weeks ago we went looking for tundra swans?  It was amazing to be able to camp comfortably in November along the Mississippi River in Wisconsin.  We broke camp early and started our search.

We found this large mass of ducks, geese, pelicans and swans - the swans are there, you just have to look hard.

I enjoyed watching them all, just wish I could have gotten closer, but we looked, there was no way to get closer.

the awkward stage

lc2728


I often see Canadian Geese, adults, and babies, but it was a delight to see some adolescents. Teens that liked hanging out with mom even!

And just like many mothers of human teens, it appears that mother has a headache and would like to escape for a while.

But the teenagers just keep following her, when she tries to scold them, they bury their heads in the water rather than talk back.  I think mom's getting a few gray hairs now, don't you?
