My World Tuesday - Trumpeter Swans
On Saturday, I spent about twenty minutes on the side of a country road, engine off, window down, watching the swans in the farmer's field about seventy to one hundred feet away. Just listening and taking pictures. I love to hear the swans honking to each other, especially when a bicyclist passed by. They'd get up, move a few feet in one direction, and then settle back into the tall grass. Occasionally a few would fly in and join the group. It was wonderful to just stop and enjoy.

It's always a bonus to see them fly! they are wonderful birds either way. Great photos! I'm glad you were able to take a few minutes and relax with them.
What a wonderful opportunity to sit and observe so many at one time and over a nice period of time. Fine series of shots.
Oh what fun! I love watching birds, especially ones as graceful as trumpeter swans.
What graceful creatures!
I've never heard or seen a flock of Trumpeter Swans. Amazing shots!
Great swans!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
I love the swans and your photos! It is fun to watch and listen to them, isn't it?.
Must be great to have birds like that in your "back yard"! Splendid shots!

Wonderful post for That's My World, which I keep forgetting about. I love listening to and watching swans (when we've been somewhere where they are -- last I remember was New Mexico. They are so beautiful.
What a lovely sight to have in your world. I've yet to see Trumpeters in the wild - they look quite regal in their white plumage.
Wonderful swan photos, Sally!

A field full of swans, generally one sees them in a lake. Beautiful.
Very nice photos. Swans are so elegant, and I don't see them around here.
This is a wonderful series of captures of the trumpeter swans! We have one lone swan who mostly lives on our lake (sometimes goes who-knows-where), but it never makes a sound. The geese, however, are another story!
What a special treat.
i have never seen a family of swans. these are amazing.
belles photos de cette famille de cygnes
