Three’s company...Trumpeter Swans in winter.

Glorious spread of wings by a Trumpeter swan, most likely a male given its size with perhaps two potential female mates? Saanich, Vancouver Island, BC. January 2019

 

The Trumpeter swan (Cygnus buccinator) is the heaviest living bird native to North America and also the largest species of waterfowl with a wingspan that may exceed 10 ft (3.0 m)!
