A titantic pose.... the majestic Trumpeter swan.#1
Another showstopper of a trumpeter swan in a majestic pose “titanic like” with wings spread backwards in late February 2020, Saanich, Vancouver Island, BC.
These swans from the Pacific Coast Population winter in British Columbia, after summering in Alaska. Trumpeters from Alaska begin the winter migration along the British Columbia coast around November 1 with peak populations in January or early February. Spring migration begins in mid- to late February, depending on the weather. (Source “Hinterland Who’s Who”). I will really miss these beautiful birds as they will likely migrate back to Alaska any day now.
