Photo: Swan on the Tonawanda

I tweeted you that on Friday! What an impressive bird - I was happy to have seen it while out walking!!!

Swans are definitely one of my favorite birds as are ducks and blue herons and to see them in the wild does my heart good.

I looked in my heart while the wild swans went over.
And what did I see I had not seen before?
Only a question less or a question more;
Nothing to match the flight of wild birds flying.
Tiresome heart, forever living and dying,
House without air, I leave you and lock your door.
Wild swans, come over the town, come over
The town again, trailing your legs and crying!
