Trumpeter Swans at Hudson, WI. February 26, 2010
On Friday, February 26, 2010, I headed up to Hudson again to photograph the Trumpeter Swans there. I had a beautiful, clear day with highs in the upper 20’s and a light and variable breeze. The swans were very cooperative. I set up my folding chair on the ice and shot away. Oh, the tough life of a nature photographer! 
In all, I took over 600 images. Here are some of the results.

Swanson had an excellent routine but just couldn’t stick the landiing!
 |
PARTY TIME!
 |
Sig tried hard but the ladies just weren’t impressed.
 |
The first time, ever I saw your face…
 |
“What’s so special about those ugly ducklings? I’m the pretty one!”

I’ll be posting more photos from my day at Hudson later.
Hope you enjoyed!
