Ingleside - Maybe this should be entered as a pterodactyl cousin because that head and bill in breeding plumage sure suggests it. The birds returned to the same area today. I wanted to post again because this was such an unusual look.

Ingleside - A flock of six dropped in to the St. Lawrence for 90 minutes before annoying Mute Swans eventually drove them out. One or two swans made several passes at the flock while they were feeding before they took off for good.
