"ON THE WINGS OF A SWAN"

Trumpeter Swan - 6 Photos

 

There is something otherworldly about swans.

 

In particular, Trumpeter Swans with their "back from the brink from extinction" success never cease to inspire with their beauty & grace.

 

This adult swan was accompanied by four immature ones, all overwintering near the Bow River, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. When you can be that close to watch their daily routines, a few take-offs just add to the experience.

Beautiful white "angels"!
Great shots, love the series, especially the take off. Much more graceful than pelicans :)
I did not know they were on a brink of extinction. Now I understand why my colleague from work was excited seeing them on the way to the mountains in late 80-ties. I did not notice the significance of it...
