If you've ever doubted that birds descended from dinosaurs, take a closer look a swan's legs.

Trumpeter swans on the lookout in K'ómoks estuary.

I used a telephoto lens and kept a respectful distance from them. I always do with wildlife. This is not about me getting the shot, this is about respecting wildlife. In this particular case, they spend the winter here so they need to eat and rest before they move on to their next destination.

A group of four trumpeter swans looking to their left. There are a few swans in the background that are asleep with their heads tucked under their wings. The white ones are adults, the ones with a light grey plumage are juveniles. The estuary is muddy because it was at low tide.

Guess who's in town? Got a tip from a friendly neighbour that hundreds of Trumpeter swans were having a mud bath in the estuary. They're here for the winter.

A bunch of Trumpeter swans in a muddy estuary. They are white with a black bill. Two of them are walking in the forefront, the rest are sleeping in the background.

This ridiculous Trumpeter Swan flew right over me today, and NO ONE ELSE LOOKED UP. The bird was headed north, away from both the lake and the river. Yeah...no idea.

A majestic trumpeter swan extends its wings while standing in a river in Yellowstone National Park. This displays an impressive wing span of 6 to 8 feet! See more here: https://joan-carroll.pixels.com/featured/trumpeter-swan-yellowstone-national-park-2-joan-carroll.html

A Juvenile Trumpeter Swan bird swimming in a lake. Its neck is extended straight up.

Here are a few Trumpeter Swans from last weekend.

This is North America's largest bird species and a huge victory for the #EndangeredSpecies act. From endangered, to least concern.

"Feeding"
A few more shots of the juvenile trumpeter swan I recently saw in northern Colorado, happily feeding in the shallows of a pond (4 shots).

On the river today. Trumpeter Swans, Golden Eye. Trumpeters we’re trumpeting, Golden Eye males were doing courtship displays. Tomorrow is February!

Week two of my #arteveryweek resolution! Further experiments with #watercolor. I laid down white watercolor paint on white paper and it didn’t show. Then I realized I should use #maskingfluid. Ruined a paintbrush with the fluid application, but it kept the swan white. I also tore up the paper a bit using pencil when it was still wet. But I painted and I learned! #mastoart #artistcommunity #art #artistsofmastodon #watercolour #painting #sketching #swans #trumpeterswan

A water color painting of a swan swimming in water on a rectangular sketch pad. The swan is in black, gray and white and centrally placed. The water is blue, gray and white. The sketch pad is atop an art pad with a grid on a table. To the left and above is a water brush and a watercolor paints palette.

There’s swans in them thar lake! (Would for a better camera than my phone, but this was awesome to see.) #olywa #olympia #trumpeterswan #migratorybirds #swans #capitollake #birdstodon #nature #urbanwildlife #naturephotography #capitolbuilding #washingtonstate

A group of swans swim in front of the misty Washington State Capitol Building dome, which rises above a shire lined with trees, also in n the fog and mist.

October 2020. From a flock of a dozen swans, a pair of Trumpeter Swans flew directly over me, gaining altitude as they began the next leg of their winter migration.

Two Trumpeter Swans.

Wings are spread out.

The sky is overcast with a light snowfall.

I love #Swans. The Trumpeter Swan Society has a wild breeding program at Bluffer's Park in Toronto and ship the offspring all over North America where they are endangered/extinct.
