Mute Swan

After visiting the Circle B Bar Reserve yesterday, we took a trip up to Lake Morton in Lakeland. While not a nature preserve or park, it seems to be just a community lake with a trail surrounding it, there was still a lot there. We saw several Ruddy Ducks and Ring-necked Ducks there, 3 Bald Eagles, several Osprey, and an assortment of domestic swans, geese and ducks. The swans in particular were quite nice to see and photograph. We spent a couple hours walking around the outside of the southern portion of the lake photographing them.
