    Doomed?

    One of a pair of juvenile Tundra Swans swimming into the setting sun on the Sturgeon River where it exits Big Lake. We still have open water which is unusual for this time of year so for now they are doing OK bottom feeding. If they have truly been left behind by their migrating family, which seems probable, and once freeze up has been completed, their destiny is to become prey for Coyotes.
