Trumpeter Swan

I never get tired of seeing Trumpeter Swans up close. That long neck and jet-black bill are a giveaway—plus their size is impossible to miss.

This swan clearly multiclassed into Wizard… those are definitely spell gestures.

Three Trumpeter Swans in flight

The largest native waterfowl in North America, the trumpeter swan, captured mid-migration. Wingspans up to 10 feet, yet they move with incredible precision.

Trumpeter Swan Family

Family meeting at the pond:
“Stay close.”
“Yes, Mom.”
“And remember — no splashing near the photographer.”
Taken at Hespeler Mill Pond this fall.

A young Trumpeter Swan

Juvenile Trumpeter Swans like this one keep their gray feathers for nearly a year before molting into white. Caught this one enjoying the last mild days of fall at Hespeler Mill Pond.

Trumpeter Swan

I waded into the freezing water at Hespeler Mill Pond to get this shot.
Couldn’t feel my feet afterward… so I went straight to the store and bought rubber boots.
The swan won this round.

Sandhill Cranes photobombed by garbage

You go out hoping for that perfect wildlife shot… and a garbage can steals the composition.
At least the Sandhill Cranes and geese look phenomenal.

Dad demonstrating how big the fish was… and the kid isn’t buying it.
Trumpeter Swans are the largest waterfowl in North America, with wingspans up to 8 feet.
