A Mute Swan with white feathers, a black mask, and orange beak, flying over a pond with blue water. There's dried light brown and red-orange foliage along the edge of the pond, and tall trees with light and dark brown trunks behind the foliage. Seen at Great Meadows NWR in Concord, Massachusetts.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LongNecks -- birds with long necks. This #MuteSwan was one of 3 or 4 that kept flying over the ponds (and my head!) at Great Meadows NWR (Concord, MA - 4/9/26) 😍🦢💙
