We suspect that the snow storms over the Christmas holidays and the subsequent freezing of a large portion of the lake surface made the swans depart for other accommodations. I saw a few this past weekend in the fields not too far from the house so I know some are still around, just not on our lake.
We miss the "music" they brought to the neighborhood as they returned each night to rest.

That is so neat. It have always seen the Swans in the skagit Valley not thinking about on the lake. South of Stanwood on the flooded cornfields there are a lot too. I haven't seen the masses of Snow Geese in the Valley this yoar like usual. I imagine the long period of snow sent them elsewhere too. Too bad. Your lake is beautiful. MB
May I use the picture as background for my computer? MB
