LAKE ERIE METROPARK: Migrating swans?



These fall weekends have been just gorgeous so we made the most of the weather and headed towards Downriver to Lake Erie Metropark.

We have been here a number of times in the past, specifically to visit the Marshland Museum and Nature Center area. It happens that in the fall, migrating birds stop here and especially birds of prey like hawks, falcons, etc.

We were a little late to view migrating birds of prey but we did get to see migrating swans? I have only seen swans alone or in pairs but never hundreds of them together.

I don’t really know what they were doing but they maybe resting and feeding to store up energy for a long migration? 

Since we drove all that way Downriver, we stopped at the Hungarian Rhapsody restaurant. I had the Hungarian Goulash and my wife had the Hungarian Platter. This restaurant has been around forever and has that old world charm to it.
