Kootenay Trumpeters
It is now mid February and an optimist might say that March – and spring – are almost here! Some optimism might be justified. There were Trumpeter Swans in the area this morning. Some Trumpeter Swans do spend their winters down here around Kootenay Lake and their presence is not necessarily a sign of spring, but as I said, an optimist might feel differently.
They are such beautiful birds! They have a long journey ahead of them before they reach their nesting grounds and start raising a family. We are lucky to see them.

Wonderful shots of a beautiful birds!
Thank you – they were wonderful to watch and did not mind me standing on the shore at all. Swans are certainly wonderful!
Gorgeous shots Joanne!! AND …. I sure hope you & the swans are right about spring being just around the corner.
Swans are never wrong!
