Hey Folks,
Here’s one of the young trumpeter swans I shot the other day on the ice in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. There were 2 adults and 2 youngsters in tow, last years young, I imagine. As the waters open up the adults will nest and hopefully raise some more cygnets this year. This yearling was trying to get a drink of water from the meltwater of top of the ice.
Cheers

Hi Carl,
I think he is saying to himself – “why is the water so dang hard!” I saw some swans like this in Cordova, it was like they were looking for their old pond.

Hey Ron,
That could well be what he was saying – it must be pretty crazy for the youngsters arriving back a year later and going ‘hey, wait, this isn’t right’? 🙂
Cheers
Carl
