Dance of the Swan - Black and White - a photo on Flickriver

"Dance of the Swan - Black and White" by Patti Deters. A Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator) stands on the snow covered shore with her leg held out to her side and her huge wing also stretched out to the side as if performing some sort of winter dance. In reality, these large graceful birds can commonly be seen standing in various positions - sometimes to help regulate body temperature and sometimes simply to stretch. This behavior was photographed along the St. Croix River near Hudson, Wisconsin then processed into black and white. If you like outdoor nature photography, please see more swans, birds, and other wildlife images at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/dance-of-the-swan-black-....
