"THE UGLY DUCKLING"
Trumpeter Swan (5 photos)
A tragic fairy tale but with a happy ending. Through its reflection in the water, "the ugly duckling" discovers that he too is a beautiful swan and starts a new life among a flock of swans.
This Trumpeter Swan has remained in Calgary, apparently for the duration of the Winter until perhaps Spring brings back the migration of its kind. To be able to see a swan in close proximity is truly a privilege and to watch an intimate grooming session is probably something those living in Southern Alberta would generally never witness.
From a photography perspective, the texture and different shades of white within its glorious feathers is certainly a palette all of its own.
