This pair of trumpeter swan's & their family came for a visit to Antelope Lake.Trumpeter swans are the largest of North American waterfowl.
Their long necks allow them to forage for vegetation with out diving.
I feel very lucky to have seen them.
They are an endangered species.
In the 1930's there were only 300 in Canada, but are in recovery now.
Wow! They're gorgeous! I love the shot of them facing opposite directions. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, I saw a pair of them at the Columbus zoo, they use them for breeding and use their babies to repopulate the wild..:-))
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful!

ReplyDeleteStacey,
ReplyDeleteI love watching trumpeter swans. There's a spot about a half hour drive from here where they winter and I'll soon be checking it out again. I got some beautiful photos last spring.
I am once again hosting a Christmas book swap and hope you can join in again this year. Last year's was so much fun.
Have a wonderful day.
Blessings,
Mary
They are beautiful:)
