The swans that have over wintered in Calgary, Alberta this year will very soon be heading north to nest and start families. Hopefully, they will have a head start of the swans that flew further south.
So thank you so much for brightening up those cold winter days with your angelic wings.
These three swans spent the early part of a morning, together. I believe it must be two parents & one youngster, born last year. You can see from Photo #1, Photo #3 and Photo #4 , its wings are mottled with some darker colouring.
And in this instance, managed to line the camera up just as they passed in front to catch the splashing as they began their long take-off.
