POCOSIN LAKES NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE -- TUNDRA SWANS

11/18/2017

0 Comments

 
I have not visited this Refuge in two years. Last year the roads between my home and the Refuge were under construction and I was not able to get there. Usually by this time of year, the Tundra Swans and Snow Geese all have arrived from their northern home to live the winter months. Yesterday I was able to spend the morning there. I found some Tundra Swans on Lake Pungo and the surrounding impoundments, but i saw no Snow Geese. I spoke to one of the Park Rangers who said there are about 17,000 Tundra Swans currently at the Lake. He also said that the impoundments are in need of rain to bring water levels up for the birds. I did get a few photos of the Swans, a few wading birds, and some of our winter resident woods birds. Hopefully we will find Snow Geese and other waterfowl here as winter settles in Enjoy the pics below.
