We had a good time down around Kingston. Went down via Opinicon Lake road and retuned home via Battersea. We turned off and drove along the road that crosses the bridge at Brass Point. It's very scenic and the bridge is quite cool. You probably know the one I mean. - Dave - They are wonderful birds. The ones in this area are quite used to humans so they'll swim right up to you. It's nice to have such a close look at them. - Marcia - I must say that we used to "enjoy" the snow a lot more than we do these days! (-: Peter - Thanks for posting more info about the “synch thing”.

And all your photos of snow remind me of our five years in Maine. It was exciting when we were in our late twenties. Not sure how we would take it now. Up in Maine, at least, no one was insane enough to live a mile-and-a-half up a mountain hollow. Our place in Maine was next to a country road and the man who plowed our driveway had an easy pass.

Per the synch thing, I was watching a documentary called "Wings of Nature" just a few days ago, and some of the water birds they documented purposely practiced being in synch for hours on end. It may well have been another type of swan they were showing. Hope you had fun aorund Kingston, I was there on Friday and Saturday, lots of Canada Geese along Lake Ontario, and all kinds of migrating birds on Amherst Island now. Great videos… cold!
