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!

Enjoy your weekend:):)

Thanks for looking, etc.:)

Tundra Swans are no strangers to frigid waters. They encounter them when they arrive on their breeding grounds on the tundra of northern Canada and Alaska, and often again on their way to their winter homes along the upper east and west coasts of the US.

This one was part of a family of four foraging along a narrow open stretch on the Sturgeon River.

A swan on the ponds at Mill Lane Pangbourne. I liked the way the light reflected him.

Bewick's swans arrive in the UK in mid-October after breeding in Siberia. They spend the winter here in our comparatively warm climate, before departing in March.
