Photo of three mute swans on Lough Aderry in County Cork at sunset, the water reflecting warm peach and gold tones from the sky.

A floating pontoon or jetty is visible in the upper right.

"In this photo, a male mute swan yanks tender roots from the bottom of a pond as its diminutive cygnet eagerly awaits the meal. Like human parents everywhere, the adult first shreds the veggies into bite-sized pieces for its young."

Two white Mute Swans with black eye masks and orange beaks, swimming with several Canada Geese with a black head and neck, white chinstrap, brownish-gray body, and a pale chest and white undertail. The birds were in the brown and blue water of the Concord River, which was frozen and covered with ice and snow along much of the length. There's snow on the riverbank along with brown and red dried foliage and brown trees. Seen in Concord, Massachusetts.
