Ooh what a fantastic shot! I've always wanted to see a Trumpeter Swan in real life.

It's like a cruise ship with little boats around it.

Really great shot

I had no idea swans were so big! :shocked6: At first I thought those were babies, but then I realized those must be the coots. :o:

You don't have any swans by you?
Mute swans are super common by me - would have thought they were everywhere in the US.

Maybe the costs are just really small ;) Trumpeters are good size birds. Bigger than a Canadian goose if that's helpful. I've been lucky enough to hand fed a few of them. They are really gorgeous and don't really appreciate how they are until you see the out of the water and walking.

I've never come across them around me here in Florida. But I would love to see them!

Biggest we see are geese.

Not my photo but I saw it immediately thought of this thread. Here's a picture of Canadian goose and Trumpeter close to together to give you a better size comparison
