A Trumpeter Swan keeps a close watch over her young cygnets as they explore the quiet marsh. Surrounded by lily pads and bathed in soft morning light, the family moves together through calm waters, a scene that reflects both the tenderness and vigilance of parenthood in the wild. Captured from water level, this intimate perspective offers a glimpse into the daily life of one of Canada's most iconic wetland species.
