A Wood Duck with a wounded wing.

 

Our trailcam took 34 photos of bunnies running around the backyard last night and one of a fox.

 

Carolina Wren

 

We witnessed a small part of the annual migration that Tundra Swans make from their winter home on the US east coast (like the Carolinas) on their way to Canada's Arctic. Then they'll do the reverse trip in the fall. Tundra Swans spend about 20% of the year migrating due to their need to take frequent breaks during their trips. We're very fortunate to live a few minutes' walk from one of their favourite places for a pit stop. We saw over a thousand of these beauties pass through during the two hours we watched.

It's not easy being a Belted Kingfisher when the streams and lakes are frozen, but this one looks pretty determined to carry on fishing regardless.

 

Trumpeter Swans in love.
