"THE CHILDREN OF LIR"
Trumpeter Swans (7 Photos)
As today is St. Patrick's Day, have drawn today's title from Irish mythology.
These two Trumpeter Swans have over wintered in Calgary, using the Bow River and other open waters within the city. If last year's experience holds true, they will join the returning Trumpeters from the south and heading for northern breeding grounds.
They kindly gave a soft distinctive honk (which has sometimes been described as sounding similar to an old style car horn) just prior to flight, allowing sufficient time to focus.
