Swans

We get our fair share of wildlife around here -- deer, eagles, coyote, cranes, turkeys, etc -- most of which go ignored by the horses.  Last week, though, a pair of swans landed in the field behind Crickhollow and the horses were quite perturbed.  Not sure what it was about them that what so horrifying, but the boys kept staring and snorting, and Morgana would trot over to the fence to stare over it at them and then book it back to the piles of hay I'd put out for their dinner.  (It was her really snappy, impressive trot, too.  Gorgeous.)

I hiked across my hay field with the camera to take pictures of them.  They're pretty difficult to see on the ground-shots, but I got some good ones once they took off.
