Ed & I were at the two Brownsville overlooks this past Saturday, November 12th. There was a naturalist at the north overlook who had great swan info. She estimated 1,000 tundra swans that day, with about 100 the previous weekend (she said that they are late this year due to warm weather). There were lots and lots of pelicans, too, and a terrific variety of ducks. The naturalist predicted that a huge influx of swans would happen before this Friday's winter storm, and that they are generally there until freeze-up. We went to Brownsville last year the first week of December and saw thousands still. I bet it would be worth the stop after Thanksgiving since they are just starting to come in. Happy Birding,
