Trumpeter Swans Ness Lake

A few shots taken just before Ness Lake froze of some Trumpeter Swans who were passing though on their annual migration.

Interestingly these swans were actually flying North to winter over on the Crooked River north of Prince George where warm springs keep parts of the river open all year.

The trumpeter swan (Cygnus buccinator) is the heaviest living bird native to North America and the largest waterfowl in the world with a wingspan that can exceed 10 ft (3.0 m).

Ness Lake is in Northern British Columbia, Canada. All shots taken with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM using a Canon 5D mk II .
