I don't think they would line up for me and my ruler, though.Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-1948044514466627912010-01-17T10:02:02.571-08:002010-01-17T10:02:02.571-08:00Great post!

Interesting to see the Mute Swans. I'm curious to know if they are also pinioned, as they are at Stanley Park. (Have to admit, that bothers me a lot.) They eat out of a fellow's hands there, and I did wonder if he ever worried for his fingers.Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-8183787921909446512010-01-16T15:25:32.759-08:002010-01-16T15:25:32.759-08:00Looks like a great day birding.

I don't have my field guides with me.
