Description
A close-up of a white trumpeter swan shows its detailed features and elegant neck curve. The swan's black beak contrasts with its pale feathers, and it is set against a blurred background of water and foliage.
The trumpeter swan is the largest extant species of waterfowl, and both the heaviest and longest native bird of North America with males averaging up to 26 pounds and 6 feet in length.
They are loud and somewhat musical creatures, with their cry sounding similar to a trumpet, which gave the bird its name.
They breed on wetlands in remote Alaska, Canada, and the northwestern U.S., and winter on ice-free coastal and inland waters.
