Trumpeter swan
Kamloops B.C.
A group of trumpeter swans winters in Kamloops. I had never seen any up close before because they usually hang out on the other side of the river. They are an imposing sight with a wing span of up to ten feet. The swans are the largest species of bird native to North America.
The trumpeter swan was close to being extinct in the 1940's with a known population of less than 100 but now has a population of 46,000.
