Most people go to the Skagit Valley when the tulips are blooming - but Jan Hansen went to visit the swans.

They settle in large numbers in the muddy fields to spend the winter. There are huge fields of swans, old and young.

And just as a reminder, here's a photo that Mike Remarcke took in March of this year 2021.
*Correction* - not geese. Swans. It just seems so inelegant for stately, snobby swans to be wallowing in the mud. For my next number, I will misidentify flowers. DKH

Just so you know, the top two photos are not geese, they are swans. Trumpeter or Tundra, I can never keep them straight. Thanks
