Black Swan (Cygnus atratus)
Photographed the Black Swan in one of the ponds at the Cedar Meadows Resort and Spa located in the Township of Mountjoy in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada.
The Black Swan (Cygnus atratus) is a large waterbird, a species of swan, which breeds mainly in the southeast and
southwest regions of Australia. The species was hunted to extinction in New Zealand, but later reintroduced. Within
Australia they are nomadic, with erratic migration patterns dependent upon climatic conditions. Black Swans are
large birds with mostly black plumage and red bills. They are monogamous breeders that share incubation duties and
cygnet rearing between the sexes.
Black Swans are popular birds in zoological gardens and bird collections, and escapees are sometimes seen outside their natural range.
