I saw swans! Two gorgeous, big, white swans! I was driving along Mystic Valley Parkway toward Arlington, just off Rte 16, and I thought there was some ice in the river but when I got closer, I could see it was big birds. They were floating down the Mystic River with a family of mallards. Whee! There's something magical about them...
Here's a random flickr photo that looks a lot like them:
