First Trumpeter Swans flew over on Sunday...

I was on the telephone on Sunday with my daughter who lives nearby and she interrupted our conversation to blurt out that Trumpeter Swans were flying over her house and honking loudly.   She counted five of them.   The Trumpeter photo above is not one of the swans that Allison saw and heard on Sunday, but one that I photographed two years ago.   The orange colouring of some of its feathers is from spending a great deal of time in water with a high iron content.    It is one of my favourite photos.   You may have seen it before in this space.   What magnificent creatures.   May you see one soon.

Please comment if you wish.
