A change of subject

Now that winter is on us, there is a chance for us to clear our minds from the political concerns to something more easy on the nerves.
There is a winter visitor to our state that is beautiful to watch. The Tundra Swan arrives here for wintering and has become an annual bird watching interest at a place called WHITESBOG. It is located off route 70 in Burlington County. The best viewing is in February or any time the old cranberry bogs are not frozen solid.

The swans depart on St. Pattys Day. View before early March.

Look up the google map for directions.

After viewing you might head south to the Forsythe Sanctuary off route 9. Around this time of the year you might be treated to the snow geese.
