Trumpeter swans

Monticello, MN

My first visit to see the swans in Monticello. Swans were constantly flying in, and being large, slow-flying birds, this was great practice for BIF (birds in flight) shots. Also they tend to fly in pairs so that can make for interesting shots.

Liz, this is absolutely beautiful! Nice job on this capture! Any idea how long the swans hang around in that area?? Thinking of driving up there maybe in the next 1-2 weeks. Thanks! Fil ( from the Owl Festival)
