Tundra Swan near Wy-Hit-Tuk Park ~ January 28, 2024

Yesterday afternoon, Owen Smith found a Tundra Swan on the Delaware River south of Wy-Hit-Tuk Park. I went over there late this afternoon and found it about a mile south of the park. At first, it was resting on the ice with its head tucked in. Then, it preened a little, got into the river, and fed for a while before returning to the ice.
