Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator)

Trumpeter Swan (Cygnus buccinator)
Not too far from our home we came by a small pond in a remote corner of Oakland County, Michigan, where I spotted a pair of swans with two cygnets. It was a great surprise, I had never seen these majestic birds so close.

Schwarzer Schnabel mit roten "Lippen" - für mich ein ungewohnter Anblick, da hier vor allem der Höckerschwan mit orange-rotem Schnabel und als Wintergast der Singschwan mit gelben Schnabel vorkommen.
Könnte der hier von dieser Art:

sein?

Du hast recht, es ist ein Trompeterschwan, obwohl sie in Michigan eigentlich nicht brueten und sie fast ausschliesslich im Westen der USA vorkommen. Umso mehr war es eine grosse Ueberraschung, dass dieses Paar ganz in unserer Naehe eine Brut hatte.

Yes, it is a great surprise to see these magnificent birds. I am sure I have never seen any. Excellent photo, too.

Thank you, Ron. We had stopped along the road when I spotted the family and I had time to watch them with the window down. They stayed in one place feeding.
