I count nine in this ballet of swans. I noticed that one is always on guard watching while the others sleep.

TRANQUIL SITTING
Tranquil One was perched on Rankin rocks. You can see Tranquil valley in behind.
TRANQUIL’S TRUMPETERS
I counted 8 today.Four adults & 4 cygnets.These are the hardest birds to get close shots of! Next time I go camping I have a plan! When I know they are inside the river system (only at high tide) I make a few noises.They’ll get nervous & begin to exit the river system.I know their normal exit route, so I’ll simply hide & wait for them to swim past.Once I start shooting the sound from the mirror reflex will spook them for sure,but by then its too late……I’ll will have gotten the shots! Busted!
EVER WATCHFUL
TRANQUIL’S TRUMPETERS ARE BACK!
SURFBIRDS
These are Surfbirds resting.They are migrating right now southward.Rankin rocks provides them with a safe place to rest.No ground predators about. Migratory birds use these places in the same way you would use a hotel on your vacation.
Many birds tuck their beaks into their feathers while they are sleeping.
