The Swans are back at Lake of the Lilies and they were not camera shy when I visited!
In fact, it seemed to me like this one was posing for my pictures.

As I turned to leave...
this Swan turned it's head and flicked the water...
and decided to play hard to get...
I'm so happy they are back!
This is a very beautiful bird, not native to North America, however. They were brought to North America by early immigrants. It is a Mute Swan, and in Britain is called the Royal Swan, with all birds traditionally belonging to the Crown.
