Ne tulivat takaisin - They came back
Kolme laulujoutsenta lensi leudossa lounaistuulessa - laulaen - Härkätunturin suunnasta yli Värriö kakkosen laen, kohti koillista, Nuorttitunturin eteläpuolitse Venäjälle. Maastossa on kauttaaltaan vielä noin metri lunta, mutta Nuorttijoen koskipaikoissa täytyy olla jo sulaa lintujen levähtää.
Three Whooper Swans (Cygnus cygnus) flew from southwest to northeast over Varrio peak two. While flying in the mild southwesterly wind, they were singing (Finnish name literally "singing swan"). The overland sites are still covered by snow of about one meter deep. On the lower valley of Nuorttiriver bigger rapids must have free water, where the birds were apparently flying to.
