Parents and their babies greeted us when we started our kayak trip today.  We went in across from Billings Bridge.

The swans were not afraid at all...in fact they almost bit our boats....they must have had a nest  near by.

This one hissed at Margaret

I was stuck on a rock facing up the rapids... really neat experience

Margaret still paddling going no where.

Turn around and go the other way and it was really calm but still a lot of current under our boats.  It was weird to feel that much power moving you without any waves.

I love the black swans.

The red beak on the black ones is such a contrast.
