He is risen!

Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

 

A bit of a stretch for an Easter theme, but this trumpeter swan rose up in the early morning to spread its wings. In the winter we can find tundra swans near us, and the tundra looks very similar to the trumpeter. Nevertheless, we were hoping to spot trumpeter swans in Yellowstone. We saw some adults with cygnets way off in the distance, too far off for an image. But this one was swimming along in a stream right up to where I was waiting on the bank. Yellowstone has a way of making some animals completely unafraid of our presence. A national treasure.
