Swans

The bird pictures on this page are of trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator). These photos were made in Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming, U.S.) and on local lakes near our home in western Montana. We have many more photos of birds from these and other locations. You'll find links to those pages on our Galleries page.
