More Denizens of Schwan Lake

 



Let us know if you have any photos to share of wildlife from Schwan Lake.  Check out this green heron. There are nesting herons, egrets and cormorants on the west shore of Schwan. Not to mention the variety of critters in this nature reserve. A raccoon and four skunks, also known as polecats, were sighted recently. And a young coyote wandered the shore as well
