The mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Eurasia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species... wikipedia

Thanks for looking... :)

Swan in winter at sunrise

Taken on a cold winter day in Pa. Ice was forming around the lake, but the swans seemed oblivious. Could have watched them all day....

A male swan (cob) tries to impress his feeding mate (called a pen). Didn't work tho.....

I believe these are tundra swans. Could be trumpeters, but don't think so. Tundra swans are decidedly more common.

Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Taken at Welney Wetland Centre yesterday.

One last swan image, I am quite excited about this pair and hoping to be able to observe them with their family.
