photoartflightMute Swans Swimming In Gull Pond
On our recent trip to the Brigantine Division of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Oceanville, NJ we saw 2 groups of a pair Mute Swans. They usually do not stay around this long as it gets colder this time of year. One pair were in Gull Pond by the 2 way section of the Wildlife Drive and the other pair were in the water by the end of the Wildlife Drive in Doughey Creek. It was fun to see and be able to photograph them swimming in the waters at Gull Pond. I was not able to photograph them at the end of the Drive because so many cars were blocking the view of them waiting to photograph them so we just drove past the cars to go through the Wildlife Drive again.

So elegant!
Thanks Eliza! They are fun to watch gliding through the water. But more fun to photograph!
Lovely shots, Reed!
Thanks Donna! They are fun to photograph! Many do not like them, but I enjoy watching & photographing them!
Beautiful. Guess they didn’t have much to say.
Yes! Actually sometimes they are extremely noisy and aggressive when protecting their territory, thanks again!
