    Default Chilling Swan

    Found this guy in a little cove in a lake near downtown Orlando. I love the setting of the grass and the cypress trees in the background.

    They are beautiful birds though they are invasive scourages at the same time. Your picture is spot on Pat, conveys a sense of peace.

    Thanks Joe. This one is staying to the north of us and hoping it stays that way. Even better if it went out of sea, this is a nasty one.

    In the Northeast they really can be a problem. If interested....

    They do still make great photography subjects as your picture shows. Its ironic though that they are symbols of love and peace but Ive had enough of those beatiful birds attack me to give them a wide berth!

    Thanks Al, this bird seemed to be part of a pair and there was one cygnet with them so they are breeding successfully.
