You were right, Clarinda, they are Trumpeter Swans!  About 4 PM cam ops gave us closeups. The bills are all black and have a V-shape between the eyes. These swans are huge, weighing 25 pounds or so. Wonder how they ever get into the air.

Three closeups and I renamed the photo from earlier today.

T40, Thanks for the video.
Hoping that my next computer will have video capture capabilities.

Lots of BEs flapping, catching, watching just after the color came back on this morning. The resident pair (I figure from past behavior) has been perching in a favorite tree today, too.

Colorful young BEs perching early this morning. And at 11AM, a whole dead tree decorated with BEs of all ages.

Another beautiful red dawn. Chilly, too. The usual suspects are at a favorite low perch from 8-9AM, with good closeups on the rewind.

October 20, 2020, 5:15pm est. -- Northern Pintails --  Flyway

My duck id skill is poor.  What I thought I saw were a large number of Northern Pintails with maybe a few Gadwalls.  Love to hear feedback.

Clarinda, you are likely correct about the ducks, but hard to tell without closeups and I am past that time on the rewind. A personal project is to learn more duck and goose IDs. I have a couple of good reference books, and great help from AllAboutBirds.org.

Just a bit ago (11:00-ish) several BEs were definitely waiting for the chat to begin!

Anyone else having an issue with the cameras today? Never had a problem before using Firefox and Chrome, but today I've been unable to pull up any of the RRP cameras. Just a black screen and a moving white circle like its trying to connect. I cleared the cache, but still no luck.

Raleigh - Ginger posted this in the two Decorah threads.  I had the same problem this morning.  I cleared all my cache and it started working, but try what Ginger says first.

Our DNN mod posted this on Explore about 4 hours ago:

"If you are experiencing a black screen with the COD (circle of doom) spinning in the center when you try to view the cams, this is due to an update (error) that youtube made. You should be able to click the "play" arrow in the lower left corner and have the live stream play for you."

About the technical "owies" earlier, maybe that sudden snowfall the other day was just too much to handle!   :o
