I took a walk around Lake Estes on Sunday afternoon, and, as of 3:30 when I left, the previously reported Trumpeter Swans were not present. The colder temperatures have significantly increased the ice cover on the lake, and I suspect the swans moved on because the shallower areas where they had been feeding are no longer available. The numbers and variety of other waterfowl were also down significantly. I saw only Canada Goose, Mallard, and Common Goldeneye. Jim Nelson Bethesda, Maryland
