We see loons and scoters on almost every winter walk at the State Park but today, with the low-lying fog, we could barely see the bay. On the ponds though the number of Tundra Swans has increased and several of them were displaying and calling, a real “Swan Lake”, as one participant described it. We also had great views of a White-crowned Sparrow and a Hermit Thrush and many, many Yellow-rumped Warblers.
