Mute Swan on the Fox River at Frame Park in Waukesha on January 15, 2023

One of my birding stops today gave nice views of a Mute Swan at Frame Park on the Fox River in Waukesha. The Mute Swan fed the whole time I was present except for a minute when it did a little preening. The river was fully open with no ice when I was there around 9:00 am. Also present were a handful of Common Goldeneye and of course Mallards along with roughly 200 Canada Geese. A little sun in the morning but started to haze over with mild temps around 32 degrees, low winds. Images were taken on January 15, 2023.

For a couple of days now, every time I view it from my balcony it is actively feeding as well…thanks so much for the wonderful photos.
