I did some trumpeter swan watching on Tuesday. They’re very social birds with interesting behaviors. (This reminds me of a recent animated breakfast with my friends.)
They will sometimes take a break from pecking around for food and stretch their large and beautiful wings.
And swans from another nearby group will fly over and join the flock.
While feeding and socializing the swans will quietly trumpet, making them also interesting to listen to. I don’t know how local farmers feel about having them in their fallow fields but I love seeing them here in winter.
Beautiful, amazing birds!
I have read that if a couple of swans choose each other, their entire lives do not change the partner.
So, that’s true love!
That first photo reminds me of my group of friends having a chat. I love it.
I would be out there with you watching them. Such majestic birds.
They’re wonderfully graceful.
We did stretch our wings ; much needed after a very animated 2 hour breakfast. Love our outings, my friend!
