I stopped at Montezuma Refuge this morning on my way to Canada. At the main pool, several Black Terns and several Caspian Terns.
At the Knox-Marcellus overlook on East Road, one immature Swan. I suspect it was a Trumpeter, but can't be sure due to the distance and heat shimmer. Certainly not a Mute Swan. At one point, it was feeding at the edge of the pond when it was suddenly attacked by a Coyote that must have been stalking it from within the marsh grass. The swan escaped by moving quickly into deeper water.
