Artist's Description
The trumpeter swan (Cygnus buccinator) is the largest waterfowl in North America. stretching to 6 feet in length and weighing more than 25 pounds. Getting airborne requires a lumbering takeoff along a 100-yard runway. Despite their size, this once-endangered, now recovering species is as elegant as any swan, with a graceful neck and snowy-white plumage. They breed on wetlands in remote Alaska, Canada, and the northwestern U.S., and winter on ice-free coastal and inland waters.
A fun fact: Trumpeter Swans take an unusual approach to incubation: they warm the eggs by covering them with their webbed feet.

This bird is stretching after preening at Hemer Park, Nanaimo. The swans winter on Vancouver Island.

What a wonderful image. The camera angle looks to be very low. Were you in a boat, or laying on a dock, or the ground by the waters edge? I am confident this was not easy to capture. Very well done, Inge! LF.

Inge, a dramatic action shot of this beautiful swan. In Australia, our native swans are black!
