The weather was a lot more palatable than yesterday, and we had a new visitor.  This swan is from the Arctic, and I saw it fly in alone.  This is another bird that made a long flight.  I observed it resting on the ice for about an hour, it could have been even more.  It was quite a distance from me, and when I go from the east side of the lake to the west side in hopes for a better shot, it is a big deal.
