Escalante Wildlife Refuge

It's heron nesting time.  We rarely catch it before the refuge closes on March 15.  But, this year we did.  They are fun to watch.  It's amazing how those big birds can balance on the very small dead cottonwood branches.  I also saw on Ebird that there were some trumpeter swans at Sweitzer's Lake so we stopped there.  Sure enough - it appeared to be a female and her young.  It's rare they're in these parts.  Canon70D
