report
On my way home on October 30th I decided to check the lake for the Trumpeters and came across a large group of them just before the approach of sunset. I quickly took a few photos of this family with four young cygnets and decided to return the next day to get more shots in better light. Next day I found they had left and located them on another small lake which is difficult to access. Shortly before freeze up they returned to this lake to prepare for the next leg of their migration journey. I think Bernard Hamm who worked so hard in this region to help preserve these swans from extinction, would be very pleased with the progress they've made.

it is nieces to see them you have a lot going on the birds the ducks water all works
Great pictures and the story is a real tribute to those that work so hard to protect those that cannot speak for themselves. Well done
Very interesting shot and story Heather. The group in the foreground is nicely posed with their beaks all oriented towards the lighted leader. Good reflection and the two at the back are doing great with the compo of the picture. Well done.
What a wonderful shot and story Heather. Very nicely composed capturing lots of detail and reflections. I like how the light still gave a couple of the swans their white colour while the rest where silhouetted, very cool.
